Adele's inspiring visit to little Rebecca.

The story of the visit by Adele, one of the world's biggest singing stars, to the home of a 12-year-old Belfast fan with a terminal medical condition was inspirational in every way.

Little Rebecca Gibney, from the Short Strand area of the city, suffers from cerebral palsy, epilepsy and blindness, and may only have a matter of months to live.

However, her family said that her `dream came true' when Adele interrupted a major concert tour to appear at her bedside and pose for cherished photographs on Tuesday.

Both Adele and everyone involved in the online campaign which facilitated the memorable encounter deserve enormous credit.
