Co Tyrone model Kate Grant has spoken of her delight at meeting members of the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace, and even grabbing a photo with the Duchess of Cambridge.
The 23-year-old was invited to the lavish affair earlier this week to celebrate her BEM, which she received for 'services to the community in Cookstown'.
Kate made headlines across the country as a teenager when she became the first model with Downs Syndrome to model at Belfast Fashion Week and since then she has gone on to appear in numerous shoots and is currently signed to ACA models.
