Five-year-old leukaemia patient Zachary White realised the dream of a lifetime when he saw the Loch Ness Monsterafter a childrens charity stepped in to help.

Rays of Sunshine teamed up with Loch Ness Cruises to give the youngster, from Bracknell, in Berkshire, the chance to spot the mysterious creature.

Zachary, who has had stem cell treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia, told the charity he wanted to watch an ice hockey game in Scotland, hear bagpipes played live and hunt for the Loch Ness monster.

When he arrived at Loch Ness, the youngster was given binoculars, a torch and a compass to hunt for the enigmatic Nessie.

Zachary said: I spotted Nessie I cant believe that I got to see the Loch Ness Monster. Not many people get to see her and I got to see her.

She was green and scaly, a bit like a dinosaur, but a friendly monster.

His parents, Katie and Mark, said: Seeing him back to his old self, so excited and smiling, has been fantastic.

Earlier in the day, the devoted ice hockey fan also got the chance to lead the celebrations for the Glasgow Clan, starting a thunderclap at Braehead Arena in front of 3,000 fans.

Leukaemia patient Zachary Whites dad told the Glasgow Evening Times: It was just the most amazing day, it was really emotional to see everybody come together, people you dont know, people you have never met, all coming together to give our little boy a once in a lifetime experience.

I am so thrilled that we were able to make Zacharys wish come true and in such a spectacular style.

This wish clearly came from Zacharys own imagination, inspiring the Rays of Sunshine team to go above and beyond to create the most magical experience possible, said charity head Jane Sharpe.
