They will all take to the stage in Manchester in the concert on Thursday 17 November, which has been organised by Take That's Gary Barlow.

Ms Murphy said she was going to give the tickets to her granddaughter.

"If she wants to take a friend, she can take a friend but if not I'll willingly go."

"We haven't had any holidays for a few years and it is going to a good cause and of course so much happiness it's going to give to the children in need."
