Amongst the audience was Morgan Doyle, 13, from Arbroath, Scotland, who is living with Leigh’s Disease, who, when given the chance to ask her idols a question, she told the boys she had travelled over 700 miles to meet them, and took the opportunity to get them to sing ‘What makes you beautiful” to her. Lily-Anne, 6, from Stoke-on-Trent, who is currently living with severe Epilepsy, asked if Niall could dance with her, showing him some of her own moves and 16 year old Abbie, from Moray, Scotland, who is currently living with Clear Cell Sarcoma, asked “my mum’s maiden name is Styles and you both have curly dark hair, are we related?” Rays of Sunshine made arrangements for the 30 youngsters and their families to travel to London to meet the world’s biggest boy band. Each of the children also received a signed One Direction T Shirt.
