WATCH: Daniel O’Donnell delights woman on airplane by singing ‘Happy Birthday’

Rudi Kinsella

Daniel O'Donnell

The birthday present that we all want.

Daniel O’Donnell had a bit of a rough time of it during the Papal Visit.

First of all, Sky News referred to him as an “onlooker” in an interview during the Croke Park Concert.

Then the Pope gave him an absolutely filthy look during his performance.

He couldn’t catch a break…

But he clearly didn’t let it get to him.

The Donegal man was recently on an Aer Lingus flight when he was informed that he had a big fan on board and that it was that fan’s birthday.

Being the absolute legend that he is, O’Donnell got straight up to the microphone where the in-flight announcements are normally made, and belted out ‘Happy Birthday’.

What a sound man.

Annie looked absolutely delighted. She even got a little hug and a kiss afterwards.

Fair play Daniel.
