Girl, 16, whose face was burned off in house blaze started by mother's cigarette aged two, is cheered on as she arrives for school prom in Rolls-Royce

The school leavers' ball - or prom, as they are increasingly called - is one of the landmark events in a teenage girl's life, marking the end of years of hard work.
It has become a crucial rite of passage for teenagers everywhere. But for 16-year-old Terri Calvesbert her school prom was even more significant than most.

Terri was scarred for life in a devastating fire at her home in Ipswich, Suffolk, when she was a two-year-old baby.

But as Terri leaves her school days behind and heads off to college in September, she joined her friends from Westbourne Academy at its school prom in Henley at the weekend.

And, of course, there was only one way for the excited teen to arrive in style - in a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce.
