LEWIS Capaldi took time out from touring to spend time with patients at a children’s hospital.
The Christmas treat was organised by Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity for patients at the Royal Hospital for Children.
Neither they nor their families could not hide their delight at singer Capaldi’s visit.
It was just one of a number of festive surprises organised by the charity to help make the Christmas season as special as possible for those undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Capaldi said: “I had a lovely day meeting some of the kids at the children’s hospital in Glasgow and spending time with them.
“Being in hospital at Christmas must be so hard for them and their families, so it was really special to be asked along to surprise a few of them here.”
Charity chief executive Shona Cardle said: “It certainly felt like Christmas came early when Lewis visited our young patients.
“They were so excited and absolutely thrilled to meet Lewis, and we cannot thank him enough for taking time out of his schedule to make some Christmas wishes come true. At Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity we work hard to make Christmas magical for the children who will spend Christmas in hospital.
“Our programme of events, visits and surprises will ensure that these children and their families won’t miss out on the fun and excitement of the festive season.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
