With love - From me to you!
Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney says it with flowers as well as words after sending a bouquet to Black Country wheelchair tennis star Jordanne Whiley.
Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney says it with flowers as well as words after sending a bouquet to Black Country wheelchair tennis star Jordanne Whiley.
The 16-year-old Stourbridge College student, who was born with brittle bones, was speechless when she received a dozen pink roses from the iconic singer. Jordanne took part in the recent Paralympics in Beijing.
To promote the games, she starred in a television campaign fronted by Macca who sang Live and Let Die.
Sir Paul is trying to raise £2million for wheelchair sport. Although he did not meet the teen he saw her playing tennis in the advert and was so impressed by her skill and dedication to the sport that he sent her flowers and an embossed letter signed Love Paul.
The letter says: "Dear Jordanne, many congratulations on your efforts in Beijing. I'm extremely proud of you. I hope you enjoy these flowers as a small token of my gratitude."
Jordanne, from Hasbury Close, was told by her neighbour about the flowers and at first thought they must be for her mother Julie, 47.
She said she was "shocked" when she realised they were from Sir Paul.
"Never in a million years would I have dreamed of receiving flowers from someone so famous and I am the envy of all my friends and especially my mum who was gutted when she realised they were not for her," said Jordanne.
The teenager has grown up with the Beatles' hits as her dad Keith is a huge fan.
