Scores of families and young children attended an all-day party at Hartlepool's Grand Hotel on Saturday when a rap star performed a song he penned specially for Taylor.

The bash was thrown by the poorly three-year-old's family to thank everyone who supported the Mail's Taylor Stallard Appeal Fund.

To date the appeal has raised more than £5,300 – smashing the £2,800 target needed to buy Taylor a wizzybug motorised wheelchair.
Saturday's event raised another £700, taking it to a magical £6,000.

Taylor beamed with happiness after arriving at the hotel in Swainson Street in a pink party limousine. She had a ball, despite being on a daily supply of oxygen to cope with chronic lung disease and having no immune system to fight off infections.

Taylor threw herself into all the fun which included live music, table top sales and face painting.

Her mum, Nichola Groom, 21, who lives in the Raby Road area of town, said: "The day went brilliantly, people were coming and going all day. I'm still on a high.
