Kayleigh Rogers is a ten-year-old schoolgirl from Northern Ireland.

She has difficulty learning literacy and numeracy and, according to the BBC, is described as very shy with moderate special needs.

But that did not stop her from stunning the crowd during her school’s carol concert at a church in Newtownards.

Leading her Killard House School choir from the front, young Kayleigh belted out a version of ‘Hallelujah’ to truly tug at the heartstrings.

Many in the congregation were said to have been left in tears after hearing Kayleigh’s voice.

The video was uploaded to YouTube and Facebook, and has gone viral on the latter platform.
