It was a wonderful moment which will lift so many people in these dark days.
Madeline Wade, a long-time resident of Derry's Creggan estate, celebrated her 82nd birthday yesterday.
However, given the current restrictions in place as a result of the coronavirus lockdown, there was little opportunity for Madeline to mark the occasion.
That, however, did not stop her neighbours.
Several of them gathered at a safe distance outside Madeline's home to sing her happy birthday.
It was a beautiful gesture and is another example of the community support which is helping so many of us through these tough times.
