A picture of a four-year-old girl who dreamed of flying abroad before she died has been found hidden on a plane in America.
Little Grace Kelly, from Worcestershire, was only four when she passed away from a rare kidney tumour in 2014. Poignantly, her grandparents stashed a photograph of her behind a bathroom mirror while on a flight, along with a note they had written, reports the Daily Mirror.
It said: "Our little angel had always wanted to fly - so she flies with Monarch - hidden away for as long as possible.
"Happy travels darling Grace, you made our life just perfect for all too short a time."
The photograph has now been discovered by Frontier Airlines workers in Tampa Bay, Florida as they were maintaining the plane.
They decided to leave the photo where it was so Grace can continue to travel the world, and one of them asked a flight attendant to get in touch with Grace's mum, Dr Jen Kelly.
Jen told the Worcester News: “I am so proud of Grace and all that she has managed to achieve. I always knew that Grace would move mountains.
"This is not the way anyone would have chosen, but now Grace is not only moving mountains but soaring above them too. She never had the chance to fly in a plane, so to know she is flying around high in the clouds is truly special.
"We are so thankful to Frontier Airlines for keeping Grace on board and we are truly grateful they tracked us down to let us know.
"Thank you so much to everyone who has made this possible for our girl.”
Jen founded The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust in 2016 in Grace's memory, and they have since raised almost £3million.
They raise cash for further research into rare and aggressive childhood cancers, as well as further educating families and clinicians about signs and symptoms, and treatments.
The Trust receives no statutory funding and relies solely on fundraising from businesses and supporters.
