A host of celebrities have tweeted happy birthday to a 9 year old boy in the UK after an appeal from his dad.
Christopher Hope-Smith tweeted that his son Ollie was being bullied and was looking for positive birthday messages to pass on to him. Ollie turns 9 on July 5th.
The original message has since been retweeted over ten thousand time and hundreds of people have wished Ollie a happy birthday, including actor Russell Crowe, Astronaut Chris Hadfield, Rapper Stormzy and Manchester City football club.
Kim Buckley has this report:
Following the influx of messages, Mr Hope-Smith tweeted: "Guys this has gone crazy and I appreciate all the wonderful messages."
