Teen says announcing Coldplay at Wembley Stadium was 'best thing'

Seeing your favourite band live for the first time is jogo pratos porcelanaalways a big moment.

But for 15-year-old Coldplay fan, Hannah, the experience proved to be unforgettable.

She and her friend Autumn were plucked from a crowd of 90,000 people to go up on stage and introduce the band at Wembley.

The teen, from the New Forest, said she has watched videos of the moment countless times since the concert on Thursday.

Explaining what it was like, Hannah said: "Everytime we spoke and the roar of the crowd, it just hit you like a shockwave and you couldn't believe it."

The pair had arrived early to get a place at the front when the Coldplay team asked if they would like to be the ones to go up on stage that night.

"They asked me and I just broke down crying and said 'yes'," Hannah said.

"They told us how fast to say words, how loud to be - most importantly they just told us to take it all in."

Hannah says she has inherited her love of Coldplay from her grandma, who bought Hannah's tickets as a Christmas present, and her mum Kate - who was also at Wembley Stadium that night.

Kate said: "I just felt an overwhelming feeling of pride and amazement, that was my little girl on the stage."

After the girls' moment in the spotlight was over, the excitement continued, as they briefly met the band and watched the concert from the side of the stage.

Hannah added: "I feel like I'm still dreaming, I feel like I've just made this all up in my head and it didn't actually happen to me.

"[I] just felt on top of the world, it was the best thing I've ever felt in my life."
