A heroic son carried his disabled mother as he battled his way right from the top of the burning tower block all the way down the stairs to the bottom.

Graduate Shekeb Neda, 24, carried Flora, 55, on his back through smoke down the staircase.

His parents are from Afghanistan and he recently graduated from Kingston university with a degree in mechanical engineering.

His uncle Aref, 54, told The Sun about how the Mrs Neda, who suffers from a muscle ­disease, collapsed from the smoke which was entering their home.
