This tear-jerking video shows the moment a pair of brave young boys were left weeping with joy at a incredible Christmas surprise.

Little Denver and Kyle Fay both broke down in tears after opening their presents and discovering they were going to meet players from their favourite football team.

Denver, 9, has battled through 15 different operations on his brain while his 10-year-old brother has spent his life protecting his sibling - pushing him to get better every step of the way.

This morning the pair were filmed by their mother Laura opening their presents - with Denver going Kyle going first.

Still wearing his pyjamas, the young lad is at first not sure what is going on but as he begins reading the card emotions takes over and he breaks down.

His mother then takes over and continues reading the message, which says: "Dear Kyle, it's time for a little Christmas magic.

"For everything you are and everything you do, this gift is a special one for an amazing little blue.

"You take care of your brother in the darkest days, you make him laugh and smile with your crazy funny ways.

"You're a very special and selfless boy, mum and dad are so proud of you.

"Merry Christmas Kyle, our amazing little blue."

Denver was next opening his gift and was left similarly tearful after reading through a message to him - referencing his incredible battles.

The youngster suffers from hydrocephalus and chiari malformation - which means the lower part of his brain was pushed down towards his spinal column.

However, he has now been out of surgery for two years and was rewarded with tickets to see his favourite football team play - and a special meeting with players.
