A Northern Ireland Welcome - the complete airport flash mob welcome!

Get the full story of what happened when Northern Ireland Tourist Board arranged a very special welcome home surprise for a family living in Ohio.
This Christmas the Northern Ireland Tourist Board gave the Monroe family from Ohio a very special welcome home. They flew into George Best Belfast City Airport and were reunited with family for the first time in years to enjoy Christmas together in Northern Ireland.

Saw the shorter version last night but its nice to hear the full story. What a brilliant video. Well done to all the guys involved - NITB, Belfast Community Gospel Choir & the Monroe Family. Special shout goes out to The Sound House & Picture House Productions N.I for filming & editing the video & for their expertise in putting together such a wonderful heart warming story. Well done people of Northern Ireland, you've shown us all such a beautiful example of joyful Christmas spirit. :)

The Northern Ireland Tourist Board deserves fulsome credit for this innovative, creative and universally appealing piece of marketing. The competition itself was a great idea, but to record the winning home-coming with the hugely entertaining Gospel Choir was a stroke of genius. Well done, NITB, and to all concerned in making all-too-infrequent good news story from here.

People of Northern Ireland, celebrate your heritage. As an Englishman, living in Australia as a permanent resident, let me say that the joy and good humour expressed in this video is a fantastic recommendation of your spirit to the whole world.Long live the Queen, and all fortune to Northern Ireland.
