Flash Mob Choir: A special Northern Ireland welcome - this is how we do it!

Watch the full story of the family and hear what they thought of their welcome home here • A Northern Ireland Wel...
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.
As Roisin, Brandon, and Kaeli-Anne walked through arrivals, they were given a fantastic surprise welcome by Belfast Community Gospel Choir, who, dressed as ordinary bystanders and airline pilots burst into a superb rendition of 'Joy to the World' -- a real show stopping welcome to start off a really special family Christmas in Northern Ireland!

My wee sister is in this video as part of the choir. She had been diagnosed with terminal cancer prior to the event - you wouldn't have known it from her enthusiasm and joyful passion on the day. This choir meant so much to her and brought her so much joy and peace - I hope it can do the same for you. She peacefully slept her way into Eternity on 5th October 2014. This choir sang at her funeral - and she would have loved it. God Bless !

+TheGabllab which one was your sister? Really sorry to hear that.

[@jedlad31]

+TheGabllab she must have been very very special

[@theolamp5312]

+TheGabllab - I wish you comfort. You will never get over that. But I wish you will learn to deal with it. If you feel all right with it, let us know her first name. So that some of us can say a prayer to her. I would like to wish you a HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S Day, Ted

Been all over the world and the greatest place with the nicest people is N.Ireland. Too bad winter is so cold.

[@jordanneff2088]

I don't get why people have to think songs and videos like this are dum, lame, stupid or any other kind of negative words. I think it was awesome. Sure wish people here were more like that.

[@BrandonEitniear]

I wish that I could like this multiple times, I've been watching it on and off for the last 6 years and it lifts me up and makes me cry in a good way, every single time.

[@jennifertarin4707]

[@spunkypuppy]

What a great arrangement of this song! Who knew an Irish choir could sound like a church choir from the deep south (of the USA...)?

[@jam2music]

Yes I am ENGLISH! Christened in a Methodist Church. But this gives me a belt of what human beings are like, ie Tolerance, Respect and ability to voice feelings, Please no more anger .The world has too much hatred already.. Please do not add to it. Sincere greetings, Chris, East Sussex England UK.

[@BIGINSF]

This shows the true spirit of the people of N.Ireland. The troubles brought the worst out in some, but the best out of Most and I hope that spirit continues to survive long into the future.

[@dagostino115]

God bless them all that was beautiful 😍 🙏

[@comenerv]

Who the heck would click dislike for this complete joyless clip!?

[@mweiser2681]

As an American, in my limited travels, the nicest people I have ever met were in Northern Ireland. I am so glad that 18 years ago I met one of them in Florida and later married her. She introduced me to Ireland and I am a richer person for it. Hope to get back again before too long. Loved the video!

[@joebarumbado5815]

damn this is video,,you made me cry for joy!! did i just watch it 5 times??

[@1948DESMOND]

every single person in the State of Northern Ireland knows at least ONE family that was affected by the sad troubles. Yet they have come back from hell, literally, to show there is no room for bigotry or racism on this planet. i am from dublin in the south and find the ulster people to still retain our irish friendliness. inthe south, we have lost it, all because of the so-called celtic tiger. god bless you all in ulster and i hope you DO overcome your fears of "the other side". smile at them a bit more and they will smile back at you! try it and see. it works. do not be afraid anymore.

[@re-joyce4806]

AWESOMEE!!!! so encouraging to see folk rejoicing and singing the gospel, GOD bless you all XX

[@Nor1961]
