Kate Garraway admitted that she burst into "joyous tears" after Elton John dedicated a song to her family while they attended his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour at the O2 Arena.
Sharing a clip of Elton dedicating Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me to Kate and Derek on Instagram, Kate wrote: "So this was a moment. Finally found someone who had actually filmed it rather than just burst into joyous tears as we did!!!
"Still can’t quite believe we were there at all - even hours before we feared Derek would be too weak - but he was determined. Yes Derek has been back in hospital this week & yes there’s such a long road ahead but #eltonjohn & @davidfurnish you gave the kids & Derek a moment that we will never forget and has lifted their spirits again to feel anything is possible.

All the carers, the #rocketentertainment team , the gang @theo2london who work so hard to make concerts like this accessible & @addisonleecabs who worked hard to find suitable transport. We are bursting with gratitude."
