Katy tells teen: You're a Firework
A dream has come true for a terminally ill Island teenager - after a massive social media campaign to contact her biggest pop idol.
Singer Katy Perry sent a personal video message to Sophie Birtles after hearing about the 13-year old, who suffers from a rare genetic condition and is being cared for at Rebecca House Children's Hospice in the Island.
Katy was contacted through Twitter after Sophie's family revealed she was a huge fan and hearing from the US singer would bring the teenager great happiness.
A massive number of shares saw the message trend on Twitter - and eventually reach the target. A file from the singer arrived online this morning (2 May).
Speaking to the camera, here's what Katy said:
Pharmacists 'uncomfortable' over proposed contract changes
Local heritage group urging residents to object to demolition of school building
People urged to help protect countryside during hot spell
Man whose son died from meningitis urges people to take up vaccine offer
