Keith explained: “Holly is a kind girl and she was so upset at seeing homeless people at Euston station.

“At our hotel, we were given five bags for the family with our breakfast in it every day because of Covid restrictions every day with fruit and yoghurt and sandwiches and pastries.

“It was far too much for us to eat so on each day so Holly on her own initiative bagged up what was left and gave it out on the way to the station. “We couldn’t be more proud of her.”
