This is the incredible moment university students lift up their wheelchair-bound friend so he can see at a Freshers' week concert.

The amazing clip was filmed on Monday at Tim Westwood's gig at Atik, Uxbridge, West London on Monday 16th September for Brunel University's Freshers' week.

In the viral footage, 18-year-old Ben is held up in the air by fellow first-year university students as high as they can so that he could enjoy the show.

Ben is seen cheering wildly along to the club track as he continues to be held aloft.

Former Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood was so impressed by the students' efforts that he shared a clip himself - and even followed Sports Health and Exercise Sciences student, Ben on Instagram shortly afterwards.

Ben - who goes by @wheelz1- on Instagram and is a paraplegic - said the moment was unbelievable: 'It was mental being lifted like that!

'It was pretty cool that Tim Westwood followed me on Instagram afterwards too.

'It's been a very memorable freshers' week so far!'

Social media users were thrilled by the Brunel university students' endeavours in the video.

@sweetlikecandycrushcorina wrote 'Love that, he'll remember this forever'

@4foot11brownin also commended the freshers: 'No one gets left out!'

Whilst @kalibatanya said the video made her nostalgic for her university days: 'still miss uni life'.

DJ Westwood, 61, has previously been accused of glorifying violence after appearing in a drill rap video alongside a street gang.

The scenes in Uxbridge were replicated across the country as hundreds of thousands of students started their first year at university. Above: Students in Bradford wore cowboy hats and carried toy guns as they walked through the streets

The celebratory scenes in Uxbridge are being replicated across the country this week and next as hundreds of thousands of students start their first year at university.

Some students sported cowboy hats and Wild West-themed outfits on the streets of Bradford as they indulged in the traditional alcohol-fuelled Freshers' Week celebrations.
