He paid tribute to his aunt with a beautiful gesture that went viral on social media. Jackson turned to his own sheep to help him show his love, laying out grain in the shape of a heart.

He aimed to scatter the grain so that when he released his flock, thousands of sheep would stream into the paddock and fill up the vast shape.
