A wonderful prom for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) has been held in Derby.
The event was organised by generous mum-of-four Emma Tansley, whose daughter Emily is visually impaired and has stigmatism and nystagmus.
Speaking before the prom, Emma said: "Emily deserves to have a prom, just like her peers, but I have been told that her school can't meet her needs.
"There are hundreds of young people like Emily who will miss out on prom this year because their needs aren't being met - and that's just not fair.
"That's why I wanted to host a prom for all those young people who face daily battles just to be accepted."
Emma has sent DerbyWorld these pictures from the lovely event.
