George H.W. Bush has shaved his head to show support for a boy who has leukaemia
A Secret Service agent in his security detail has a two-year-old son who is losing his hair as a side-effect of treatment for the cancer.

The former president acted after he saw other agents in his detail had shaved their heads.
A spokesman for George H.W. Bush identified the toddler only as Patrick.
