The schoolgirl survived the devastating terror attack at Manchester Arena on May 22, 2017, that killed 22 people.

She is one of many special guests invited by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and made the heartbreaking gesture to bring the grandmother of one of the victims with her.

Instead of asking her mum, Amelia invited Sharon Goodman, who lost her granddaughter Olivia Campbell-Hardy in the bombing at an Ariana Grande concert.

Amelia said she made the gesture "just to put a smile on her face".

Her mother Lisa Newton said she didn't mind her daughter not inviting her if it would make someone else happy.

"Obviously the 22 people that died can never be forgotten," Mrs Newton said.

"Their family lost something so precious and I've still got Amelia, we can still experience things like that on Saturday."
