An 11-year-old girl whose vision is deteriorating due to a rare genetic disease fulfilled her dream of seeing the aurora borealis.
Lily Rae from Nottingham, England has a rare disease stargart which causes vision loss.
She and her mother made a list of places she would like to see before her eyesight deteriorates further.
She also started an online fundraising fund, and actress Kate Winslet donated more than 5.500 euros to her.
It was with this money that Lili and her mother paid for their trip and stay in Finland.

The girl and her mother saw the aurora borealis in Lapland, in the north of Finland, where they stayed for three days.
The phenomenon, known as the Aurora borealis, is created when electrons from the Sun collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere.
"In the morning, we rode in a sled pulled by huskies. It was very exciting and fun, and in the evening with reindeer.
"Then we saw the aurora borealis, different bands appeared along the road," said 11-year-old Lily Rae.
Her mother Emma says they "stayed in a log cabin and a glass igloo where there was an aurora borealis alarm".
The alarm went off one morning at 1.30am.
"We ran out in our pajamas with the neighbors we befriended.
"It was phenomenal, she appeared above the log cabin, spinning, changing colors, she was absolutely beautiful," Emma shared her impressions.
Lili Rae collected more than 10.000 euros with an online campaign.
So far, 125 people have given money, including Hollywood actress Kate Winslet.
The actress invited the girl and her family to London to meet and watch the play My neighbor Totoro at the Barbican Theatre.
If she collects enough money, Lily Rae hopes to go on safari in Africa, visit Paris and see the Eiffel Tower, and she also wants to visit Italy.
