Girl told she'd never walk alone joins top ballet school

A girl with cerebral palsy, who was told she would never walk unaided, has been offered a place at the English National Ballet School.

Six-year-old Matilda Duncan, known as Tilly, had pioneering surgery after best friend Casey Burke, five, and mum Suzanne, started a fundraising campaign.

Tilly's mum, Rachel Knowles, said, "We're over the moon... She loves dancing and now she can."
