Emergency services in Cork have helped a 10-year-old boy celebrate his birthday with a special - and physically distant - rendition of Happy Birthday.
Rian from Cork turns 10 today, but gardaí say he "hasn't been feeling well lately".
In order to mark the occasion, local gardaí and firefighters arrived outside his home in a special convoy.
We're not the greatest of singers, but we do our best! Rian from Cork is 10 yrs old today but hasn't been feeling well lately. To cheer him up the emergency services gathered at a safe distance outside to sing happy birthday to him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIAN! #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe pic.twitter.com/GDKbRo0Vrf

The emergency workers sang a special rendition of 'Happy Birthday' - making sure to keep a safe distance all the while.
His mother had also organised for his school friends to appear too by video link.
As an extra birthday present, Rian was also promised a day visiting his neighbours with gardaí and the Garda dogs once the current crisis is over.
Cork Fire Brigade, meanwhile, also pledged to "be back for some birthday cake" when they're able to.
