Ryanair passengers in tears over man's random act of kindness on flight
A spontaneous act of generosity on a Ryanair flight left passengers so moved that some were reduced to tears. Air travel often brings stories of seat disputes or complaints about fellow travellers, but one young man aimed to bring a wave of positivity aboard his Ryanair journey.
Staffordshire's Sebbie Hall aspired to transform the aircraft into the "happiest plane in the sky." In an attempt to "make someone a billionaire," according to a crew member, Sebbie bought a scratchcard for every family group on the flight. A video on TikTok captures the moment Sebbie and the crew member distributed the cards to seated passengers.
One woman was visibly emotional, while another passenger gave Sebbie a handshake.
Despite living with a rare chromosome anomaly causing physical and communication challenges and learning disabilities, Sebbie continues to spread kindness.
The Ryanair crew member who helped Sebbie in distributing the scratchcards informed passengers that Sebbie has performed a random act of kindness daily for five years, beginning during lockdown to bring smiles to people's faces.
He has raised more than £100,000 to aid disabled and disadvantaged children across the UK, earning him the title of UK kind hero last year.
The Ryanair staff member's called for "an absolute round of applause" for Sebbie from passengers on board.
Another employee of the airline announced: "Sebbie wants to say 'good luck strangers, no strings attached' but if you win, could you please somehow let him know?" He doesn't want your money but he'd like to know. Good luck!"
The TikTok clip featured delighted passengers brandishing their scratch cards showing how pleased they were with Sebbie's selfless act.
The post racked up more than 800 comments, as curious users asked about any potential winners.
Sebbie responded, confessing that he was unaware of any victories, "but they were happy."
Many comments celebrated the sweet gesture, one user said: "The lady sobbing would be me if I was on this flight."
An impressed Ryanair crew member added: "As Ryanair crew, this is incredible! What a smashing young man."
A third chimed in: "Oh Sebbie, what a wonderful thing to do. We need more Sebbies in the world."
Emotionally touched, a fourth viewer commented: "I'm definitely not laid in bed bawling my eyes out." Someone else praised Sebbie as a "real life angel."
In March 2022, the Sebbie Hall Kindness Foundation was set up, providing financial support for initiatives promoting inclusion for disabled young people and offering communication, arts, and sports resources to families and organisations working with individuals aged 16 and above.
Kindness is Sebbie's 'superpower', and in a recent act of generosity, he distributed Fab ice lollies to passers-by on a warm day, telling them they are 'fab'.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NEW Love Island Casa Amor hunk Ty is related to a villa beauty from a past series. Tonight, the 23-year-old site engineer will make his show debut alongside with five other bombshells all vying to woo the girls and cement their place in the main villa.

Cheyanne Kerr raised her hand to her mouth in surprise as the Love Island theme played, and she wrote: "POV: Your cousin just walked into the villa." One follower commented: "so excited for him. he's the best boy on there." Another agreed, saying: "Best one out them all." When a fan asked Cheyanne who she thought Ty would go for, she replied: "I haven't been watching it so I haven't a clue who people are but from what I've seen I think Shakira maybe???" She told another: "He likes a brunette tbh." Ahead of the series, Ty confirmed his type, saying: "I go off energy, if we vibe. I've typically dated brunettes, tanned, nice teeth with a nice smile." He added: "I've got my eyes on Shakira - she needs a Northern lad in there, our personalities would be the most matched I think. "Emily seems like a really sweet girl, someone you could take home to your parents. Helena is really good looking but she needs taming! I reckon I'm the man for the job." Barnsley bombshell Cheyanne had been single for six months when she entered the villa. Love Island fans left feeling 'sick' after last night's snogging challenge She said at the time: "I am not wanting to upset anyone or hurt anyone's feelings purposely but I am going in there for a reason and they're going in for a reason as well." The blonde stunner hit it off with rugby league lad Jacques O'Neill in Casa Amor but ultimately left the show when he decided to stick with Paige Thorne. 5 Shakira is Ty's type on paper Credit: Eroteme 5 Cheyanne Kerr is new boy Ty's cousin Credit: TikTok

Fact check: Social media channel of migrant's journey posts AI-generated videos
The videos on the channel appear to be AI-generated. On four days between June 9 and June 13, the channel 'migrantvlog' uploaded 22 videos to the social media platform. At the time of writing, the most-watched video had around 374,000 views on the platform. In total, five of the videos had more than 100,000 views. The channel had 1,647 followers and more than 11,000 likes. Comments on the videos show some viewers realised that the videos are AI-generated. However, others seemed to be reacting as if they are real. What evidence is there that the videos are AI? There is clear evidence of AI generation in many of the videos. Most tellingly, several of the videos have watermarks for Veo – an AI video generation tool. One video posted with the caption '5 star meorot we going' includes a section at around seven seconds where a man on the right of the frame seems to momentarily lose his arm. This video is one of several with a Veo watermark. The watermark appears in the bottom-right corner, where it might be obscured from some viewers by TikTok's display icons. Between that video and another posted later the same day, the main protagonist's voice seems to change. The second video includes scrambled text on the front of a building, a hallmark sign of AI. At around five seconds, a man appears to pull a large camera out of his crotch, while at seven seconds a person sat in a chair appears to become translucent. Another video shows a protest with men waving flags. The man behind the right shoulder of the person filming moves his arm in an unnatural way and the flag in his hand seems to appear and disappear. A video shows a man running with a group while holding a burning Union flag. The flag is on fire, however the material does not appear to be blackening, and the way the men behind the protagonist interact seems almost ghost-like as they move through each other in unnatural ways. In a video in which the man says 'thank you British taxpayers for feeding us this good food', a fork can be seen appearing seemingly out of thin air in the background while a man appears to pass a plate through his own hand.
