Dream comes true for brave Perth girl Lily Douglas as she meets Little Mix

A dream came true for a brave Perth girl fighting cancer when she met her pop idols Little Mix.

Lily Douglas met the band at their concert at Dundee’s Slessor Gardens on Thursday, when the group played in front of 11,000 people.

It was a moment of magic for the St John’s Academy Primary pupil as Lily and her family got a prime view of Little Mix by being close to the stage, and it will be an event to remember as she continues her treatment after being diagnosed with stage four Ewing’s Sarcoma – a form of bone cancer.

Her mother, Jane, said: “The girls in Little Mix were great with Lily and gave her a goodie bag. We were right at the front of the stage and even got a few waves from the girls as they performed.”

Friends of the family posted messages on social media after seeing a photograph of Lily with Little Mix.

Sharon Neil said: “That beautiful smile just melts your heart – wonderful memories for you sweetheart.”

And Denise Cruickshanks added: “Look at Lily’s smile – brilliant xxx.”

Lily, who is a keen ballet, tap and street dancer, who was invited to audition for Scottish Ballet prior to her illness, has already amassed 80 dance trophies.

She was shocked to find a lump on her shoulder in April following a dance competition. Lily was taken to her GP who then referred her to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, where medical staff found a tumour.

Lily has been receiving treatment at Edinburgh Sick Kids Hospital.

A crowfunding page https://www.gofundme.com/support-our-lily has now raised £27,000 for Lily and her family.
