Just weeks after missing out on her school prom after being confined to hospital by two deadly superbugs - Black Country schoolgirl Becci Adams finally got to enjoy her moment in the spotlight.
It was also a proud moment for her mum Pauline and brothers Daniel, aged 21, and Jake, 19, as the 16-year-old schoolgirl stepped out in the coral silk frock she had bought for the initial occasion.
More than 100 school pals together with members of her family and representatives from the Wishing Well charity at Dudley's Russells Hall Hospital joined her for the belated celebration at Halesowen Cricket Club.
Mother Pauline, aged 50, said: "It was a wonderful night and the turn out was phenomenal which shows just how much she is loved by everyone.
"I was very proud and emotional as at one point when she was in hospital it was a moment I thought I wouldn't see."
The 16-year-old from Linnet Close is studying for her A levels at King Edward V College in Stourbridge.
She spent eight days on the high dependency unit at Russells Hall Hospital and underwent nine blood tranfusions after contracting C.diff and a strain of E.coli.
