Sweet Scots girl sends Bob Dylan-style message to key workers as she misses dad

A Scots schoolgirl has sent a heartwarming Bob Dylan-style message to key workers after missing her dad who is on the front line.

Molly-Rose McCloy, five, dedicated the touching tribute to NHS workers, carers, supermarket workers and lorry drivers like her dad Marcus, 41.

The family have been self-isolating for weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic, in order to protect Molly-Rose's three-year-old brother David-James, who has Down's syndrome.

Mum Heather, 42, says Molly-Rose has been confused about why the family can't leave the house, and why her front line worker dad still has to go to work.

Speaking to the Record, she said: "I did it because I was trying to explain why we can't go out and why nurses, doctors and care workers can.

"Her dad also works in the transport industry and he is still a front line worker.

"She always asks why he still has to work, so I said we could do a poster challenge and she loved the idea.

"David-James is three and has down syndrome so that's why it's important for us to stay home as kids with down syndrome have weak immune systems.

We know how important the NHS is to us."

The adorable video was posted on Heather's facebook page and has already receive a huge response from kind-hearted people praising the youngsters efforts.
