A GIRL from Colchester attended a Christmas party at 11 Downing Street.

Katie Ward, six, and her mum, Ruth, were guests at charity Starlight’s children’s party, hosted by chancellor George Osborne.

Katie suffers from spondyloepiphyseal dyspepsia congenital, a bone growth disorder.

Other guests included footballer Frank Lampard, pop star Geri Halliwell, actor Rupert Grint and X Factor star Diana Vickers.

The charity, which grants wishes to seriously ill children, made Katie’s dream of going to Disneyland come true in April.
