It's no different to at home.
His mother said she talked to Archie every day and had told him "you really need to wake up now because we've got the biggest battle of our lives and it'll be really great if you actually helped me"."He's in there, physically, for whatever reason, whether it's locked-in syndrome, whether he's paralysed... I don't know, but I feel he's in there," she said.
Asked if she was concerned she might be prolonging the agony for her son, Ms Dance said: "No... I would be more worried if I gave up and spent the rest of my life thinking 'what if I'd held on just that little bit longer?'."Inside, I'm broken - but I've got to go fight or flight - I haven't got time to think about my feelings, my emotions at the minute, because this is a fight for Archie's life.
Dozens attended the event, which organisers said was held "to show the family support within the community".
