Three children were left overjoyed after receiving 'the best Christmas present in the world' - bionic arms.
Zoey Hampton-Pigeon , 8, Finn Jarvis, 11 and Ettie Baker, eight, were given their new 'life-changing' Hero Arms yesterday (12 December) - thanks to The Big Hero 3 campaign.
The campaign, launched by mother Sarah Lockey, helps families of children with missing limbs to fundraise for bionic arms.
Ettie's Mum, Alyse, said her daughter 'screamed' when she found out about her new Hero Arm - which she would get just in time for Christmas.
Alyse said: "Ettie has always shown so much love for her difference and loves celebrating differences.

00:00So, channel pop it open.
00:03There you go.
00:08Alright, take it out.
00:20Was that the right color?
00:22Yeah?
00:24There you go.
00:31This here is going to be for you to tighten the arm up.
00:34So, if you pop it up, it's going to open up the frames.
00:38Get yourself into it, push it down, twist.
00:49Alright.
00:51Right on.
00:53That's so classy.
01:01Looks cool?
01:03Yeah?
01:18Why are you guys here today?
01:20We're here to pick up our hero arms.
01:23Yeah, so let me see them. Show me your arms.
01:25Show me your arms.
01:27Wow.
01:29And how excited have you been? Has it been a bit like Christmas today?
01:32Yeah. Like an early Christmas.
01:35Like a massive build up to it too.
01:38Everyone was so excited.
01:41So, how long have you guys been waiting?
01:44How long has the process been?
01:46When did you start?
01:48I think we started somewhere near June or July.
01:55So, six months maybe?
01:57Yeah.
01:59My dad had the idea around that time, but the actual fundraising website went up on September or October.
02:11Around there.
02:26Wow.
02:28Wow.
02:30Great.
02:46It's stuck.
02:49It won't come out.
02:51Mmm.
02:53It's magic.
02:56So, you've all got different designs.
02:59Let's see them again.
03:01Just pop in this one.
03:03We've got the Spiderman design.
03:06A lilac one.
03:08And Finley, you've gone for a full black one.
03:10Yeah.
03:12Now, what are you most looking forward to do to learn and do with your arm?
03:17I'm really looking forward to do the hanging stands and cartwheels.
03:20The hanging stands and cartwheels. What about you Finley?
03:23Just writing really.
03:25And what are you looking for?
03:27Being able to skip for the skipping rope.
03:30Wow. I mean, do you think you're going to stick with the same colour or do you think you might change eventually colours?
03:37I feel like I might have this colour for maybe like a year or so and then I might maybe get another colour and then I can maybe mix and match or change it to that colour.
03:53Are you all looking forward to showing your friends?
03:56Yeah.
03:58Big Hero 3!
