A teenager with a life-limiting condition was taken to his school prom in an ambulance after asking hospital staff to make sure he could join his classmates.

Sultan Ali has Morquio Syndrome, which affects the heart, bones, respiratory and central nervous system.

The 16-year-old asked his occupational therapist, Sian Phillips, if she could arrange for him to be taken from Birmingham Children's Hospital to a hotel hosting a leavers' ball for pupils at the city's Hall Green Secondary School.

St John Ambulance volunteers stepped in and he arrived at the prom in "epic" fashion.

Ms Phillips said: "Sultan said his rehab goal was to attend his school leaving prom, just like his friends, which we are all so pleased he was able to achieve."
