A four-year-old girl's dream of being a ballerina for the day came true.

Angelina Vidler, of Shoeburyness, Essex, who suffers from a rare form of cancer, rehearsed at the Royal Opera House.

With her own silver outfit and ballet slippers, she joined ballerinas from the Royal Ballet in rehearsing on stage.
Her wish was made possible by the Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity, which helps seriously and terminally ill youngsters.

Afterwards, her proud mother Hilary said: "Rays of Sunshine have granted the most amazing and special wish.

"Angelina enjoyed every minute of it and couldn't take her eyes off the beautiful ballerinas.

"This wish has given us all, as a family, so many happy memories."

Angelina, who was also given a signed pair of ballet shoes, is receiving treatment for Wilms' Tumour, a form of kidney cancer that she was first diagnosed with in July last year.
