DJ CLAIRE Beck has told of the amazing story accompanying her efforts to visit her brother in Canada.
The presenter and DJ flew to Vancouver to surprise her brother Declan, whom she calls 'Derris'.
Declan moved to Canada in 2012 and now lives there with his wife and children, whom Claire hasn't seen in 18 months.
She decided to surprise him with a bottle of Lucozade for his hangover as its the only Irish product he misses.
And that, my friends, is why I'm flying this bottle of Lucozade over 7000km, in time for Derris getting home from his Christmas office party. He has NO IDEA I'm coming and I cannot wait to see his face. About to board flight #1, will update from London #derrisishungover pic.twitter.com/auKK5UDTEE

She shared videos of her meeting her niece in an adorable reunion...
Whoops, left the last tweet out of the thread. 1am now, the lads still out. Dani & Eva have gone home and iss Penny finally went to bed after many cuddles and stories. Haven't seen the kid in a year and a half, first words were "Hi Aunty Claire I missed you" ? #derrisishungover pic.twitter.com/Pur20BLTV3

And eventually, the moment came for her to surprise Declan, and she posted the heartwarming video to Twitter.
Video!! ? The start is cut off cos tbh I'd nodded off on the couch waiting, its been a long day ? He came up the stairs and said "what? What are you doing here?" He's in shock. He just keeps staring at me ? #derrisishungover pic.twitter.com/nHgt8s4M7h
