A Belfast woman who was the subject of a moving Instagram video that went viral, racking up more than 40 million views online, has told how a chance meeting with a photographer opened new doors for her and changed her life.

Anne Flanagan, a 70-year-old retired civil servant and mother of two, became the center of attention on social media earlier this year when Christopher Ward, who runs the Instagram page Model Strangers, stopped her to take a photo and hear her story.
