Talk about arriving in style.
Teenager Kyran Richmond landed at his Year 11 prom in a helicopter - with Miss England on his arm.
And it made the big night extra special for the 16-year-old, who has a rare life-shortening disorder.
Kyran, from County Durham, is believed to be the only person in the North East with Juvenile Batten Disease.
The condition has left him with a life expectancy in his late teens or early 20s.
As such, his focus is on making memories - and family friend Cheryl Ellis said Friday night's was one of the best yet.
"He absolutely loved it," beamed Cheryl.
"As soon as Kyran said he wanted a helicopter, I said that even if we couldn't get a pilot then I would have flown it."
But there was no need as a community rallied around the teen to make his dream come true - especially his fellow Newcastle United fans.
Offers of cash - and services - poured in from supporters for the season ticket holder to help make his dream come true.
And on Friday night it did, as suave Kyran arrived at the Hall Garth Hotel, near Darlington, and was joined by Miss England Alisha Cowie, 19, for his Year 11 leaving party.
And he was the envy of his fellow pupils at The Oaks Secondary School, in Spennymoor, with his James Bond-style entrance.
"Everyone said they had never seen anybody enter a prom like that," admitted Cheryl, from Chilton.
"He danced with Alisha and some of the teachers, and he was still on a high the next morning."
The youngster was born healthy but, aged six, he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa - an eye disease where there is damage to the retina.
Then in 2011, he was handed the heartbreaking diagnosis of Juvenile Batten Disease - with no known cure for Kyran's strain.
His loved ones created a fundraising team to raise both awareness of the condition and to help cover the costs of the teen's ongoing needs.
