Two Scots siblings with a rare, life-limiting condition got a "wonderful treat" as they attended a Christmas event hosted by the Queen Consort in London. Eilidh Currie, five, and her three-year-old brother Cameron saw reindeer, helped decorate the tree and met Father Christmas on their visit to Clarence House this month.
The two children, from Edinburgh, both have Batten's Disease, a genetic disorder of the nervous system, and are cared for by the team at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People (RHCYP) in the Scottish capital.
Michelle Small, their specialist nurse, nominated the family through Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity and they were invited to visit Clarence House alongside other children from across the UK, all of whom have serious health conditions.
