Billy Caldwell and mum, Charlotte Caldwell, touched down in Belfast on Thursday evening after the Home Office granted an emergency licence allowing medicinal cannabis to be used to treat the 12 year-old's epilepsy.

Billy, who suffers from severe epilepsy, made international headlines recently when mum Charlotte appeared on several radio and television programmes saying the government were denying her access to medicinal cannabis - a substance she says that helps to considerably control the frequency and severity of Billy’s seizures.
Billy and mum Charlotte are both from Castlederg, Co. Tyrone.
