A Belfast woman was given the perfect birthday present when her son, who she had not seen for two years, appeared during her birthday party.
Marie McKee was celebrating her 50th in Andersonstown Social Club in Belfast when out of the blue the perfect surprise made it the perfect day for her.
Marie was sat at the front of the crowd with the singer on stage singing happy birthday to her, when her son Kevin suddenly appeared.
Marie was in shock and couldn’t take in what she was seeing for a moment, before she jumped up and grabbed her boy in a big hug and wouldn’t let go.
Kevin’s brother, and Marie’s other son, Padraig told Belfast Live: “My wee brother made a surprise return home and my mum had no clue!
“Kevin has been in Australia for the past two years, travelling around, and for the last year had been living with family in Perth.
“He decided to come home a few months ago so we had been planning the surprise for a good four or five months.
“On the night of the party the singer we had was singing happy birthday and we got Kevin to come in through a door behind the stage so it was a perfect entrance. There wasn’t a dry eye in the place.”
It was a great idea from the family, and co-ordinated brilliantly to give Marie the perfect surprise.
Take a look at the video.
