Lee told the Ayrshire Post: “It’s been hard to take in. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect this kind of reaction.

“I’d had the idea for a while to do the song, but it took a lot of planning and work with the pupils - and they were so excited to be involved.

“I just wanted to do something that would put a smile on Katy’s face, but I’m glad it’s been able to put a smile on so many others.

“The kids have been fantastic and taken everything in their stride.

“There was a great buzz around the school today with the film crew here and I’m still struggling to take it all in.
