Photo of Grace, 4, who longed to fly is found hidden on plane with a heartbreaking note eight years after she died

Just a few weeks after her death, her heartbroken relatives took a flight with Monarch Airlines and stashed a photo of her sitting in a plane on a funfair ride behind the jet’s bathroom mirror.
A touching tribute on the back of the snap read: “Our little angel had always wanted to fly – so she flies with Monarch – hidden away for as long as possible.
“Happy travels darling Grace, you made our life just perfect for all too short a time.”
The beautiful gesture has only just been discovered during a routine check by Frontier Airlines, which took over Monarch after its 2017 collapse.
Airline mechanics Cullen Johns and Shaun Brown found it as they worked on the aircraft in Tampa Bay, Florida, half the world away from Grace’s home in Crowle, Worcestershire.
The pair were so touched by it that they used social media to track down Grace’s mother, Dr Jen Kelly, and inform her.
Dr Kelly said: “I am so proud of Grace and all that she has managed to achieve.
“I always knew that Grace would move mountains.
“This is not the way anyone would have chosen, but now Grace is not only moving mountains but soaring above them too. She never had the chance to fly in a plane, so to know she is flying around high in the clouds is truly special.”
Johns and Brown also told her that they would keep the picture of her daughter on the plane in her memory.
The heartbroken mum added: “We are so thankful to Frontier Airlines for keeping Grace on board and we are truly grateful they tracked us down to let us know.
“Thank you so much to everyone who has made this possible for our girl.
“It feels so special to know that Grace’s photo has been flying for so many years and continues to do so.”
Dr Kelly founded and runs The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust in her beloved daughter’s memory, raising funds to fight the awful disease.

Notorious inmate Charles Bronson sends angry voice note from prison
Charles Bronson claims he ‘hates violence and has never been dangerous’ in voice note from prison
CHARLES Bronson has claimed he “hates violence” and has “never been a danger to the public.
Britain’s most notorious prisoner, 70, will find out this week whether his bid for freedom has been a success after 50 years behind bars.
He has spent the last month trying to convince a parole board to set him free.
Armed robber Bronson has seen his sentence repeatedly increased for attacking prison staff and taking them hostage.
However now, in a voice note sent to Sky News, he has claims that he is not, and has never been, dangerous.
He said: “They keep f****** drumming it into the public I’m a danger. Who am I a danger to? I’ve never been a danger to the public.
“I love people, love ’em, I love the world. I’m not a f****** filthy terrorist or a rapist, or a murderer, so who am I dangerous to outside?”
He added: “I want to go home, I’m an artist born again.
“I hate violence, I despise it and that’s all I’ve done for the last ten years, sit in my cell, a model prisoner, polite, respectful but they still won’t let me out.”
Throughout the parole proceedings Bronson openly discussed his crimes and time behind bars – before trying to convince them he is a changed man.
Bronson admitted he had no remorse about taking a governor hostage, had won £1,500 placing football bets behind bars and loved fighting in jail house brawls.
Bronson said: “I was born to have a rumble, I love to have a rumble.
“But I’m 70 now. It can become embarrassing. You have to grow up sooner or later.”
Bronson was first sentenced to seven years in jail after being convicted of armed robbery in 1974 – which was extended by nine months after he attacked a fellow prisoner with a glass jug.
He later attempted to strangle Gordon Robinson while at Broadmoor, before causing £250,000 worth of damage when he staged a three-day protest on a rooftop.
The serial criminal was eventually released in 1987 – it was then he changed his name to Charles Bronson on the advice of his bare-knuckle boxing promoter.
But it was not long before he was back in jail, after robbing a jewellery shop in 1988 and sentenced to seven more years inside.
Bronson was released early from his sentence in 1992 – but was back behind bars 53 days later for intent to commit robbery.
After holding three men hostage in his cell, the Luton lad saw another seven years added to his sentence – although this was cut to five on appeal.
Following further incidents, he was finally given a life sentence after kidnapping prison teacher Phil Danielson in 1999, causing destruction to the prison.
After being held at a number of prisons across the country – including Belmarsh – he returned to HM Prison Woodhill in 2018, where Bronson is still incarcerated.
Driver leaves rude note explaining why they’re taking up two parking spaces – but people are divided
A DRIVER who left a note on their car explaining why they took up two parking spaces as left people divided.
The unidentified motorist came under fire for their “entitled” parking but the car owner tried to justify their actions.

In an apparent response to a previous note left on their windscreen, the driver left a message claiming the car had been damaged and the repairs had cost hundreds of pounds to fix, saying the should be allowed the extra room to park.
The note said: “The reason I park in two spaces is because someone hit my car and drove off costing me £500 to get it repaired.
“So do not leave a note on my window. How would you like it done to you!”
A photo of the message was posted onto Reddit by an anonymous poster, which quickly drew attention from other users of the social media site.
The author of the post wrote: “Note on the dash did not disappoint.”
The post quickly gained more than 300 replies and a lively debate broke out about who was right.
Although a few appeared to side with the driver, most commentators slammed the parking and mocked the note.
One person wrote: “If it’s ok for one, it’s ok for all, then the number of spaces is halved… Sure they wouldn’t be happy about that.”
Another joked: “No you don’t understand, it’s only ok if you’ve been crashed into in the past.”
A third person added: “I’d be especially inclined to leave a note. Putting it next to their note so it’s obvious I knew.”
While someone else chipped in with: “Maybe if you parked better, people wouldn’t hit your car.”
A fifth said: “Idiot thinks one instance of bad luck now entitles them to two spaces.”
Another post said: “I didn’t really understand the note until I read the fifth exclamation mark.
“Three, even four wouldn’t have been clear enough. The fifth one completes it.”
It comes after a rude motorist left a controversial note on his car to avoid being ticketed.
And a woman was left horrified when she received a chilling note from her nightmare neighbour chastising her kids for playing outside.
