Glasgow schoolgirl meets hero namesake Lulu in special birthday surprise

A Glasgow schoolgirl had her dreams turned into a reality after meeting her hero namesake.

Lulu Bryce was able to meet the iconic Scottish singer at her show at Eastwood Theatre in Giffnock on Wednesday night.

The 14-year-old was taken as a special birthday treat by doting grandma Janice.

She told Glasgow Live: "Last night so exceeded expectations. We laughed, we cried, and we sang as Lulu touchingly walked us through her iconic story.

"Young Lulu was captivated by the diminutive ball of energy that is Lulu - defying her almost 75 years."

The pair were able to secure meet and greet tickets for the show and went home with a keepsake bag after their five minutes with the star.

Janice added: "Lulu was so natural and kind towards a very nervous birthday girl. It's kind of sweet that my Lulu is almost 14 and singer Lulu was 14 when she assumed the stage name of Lulu!

"Lulu's message on the keepsake picture read 'To the real Lulu from the old Lulu!'

"It was a privilege to share her special anecdotes that painted a very honest picture of her journey in the music industry. There was standing ovations all round."
