Tríona Priestley's family mark first anniversary with touching #songforTri video message
It was this time last year we were all introduced to Tríona Priestley, a 15-year-old girl suffering from Cystic Fibrosis.
You might remember that Tríona's dying wish was for Ed Sheeran to sing to her.
This wish lead to her supportive friends starting an online campaign to contact the singer, using the hashtag #songfortri.
Triona’s wish was granted when Ed rang and sang to her shortly before her death, making one of her biggest dreams come true.
@edsheeran thank you so much for calling Tri, she will be so happy. She told me one of her biggest dreams was to talk to you 💛❤️ #songfortri
