Internet falls in love with mums’ Carpool Karaoke-style video with their Down’s syndrome children

They made it to raise awareness for the condition and released it to coincide with World Down’s Syndrome Day on Wednesday (March 21).

The song choice was inspire by Singing Hands UK which originally signed a version of the song.

The group, who to nursery rhymes and songs in Makaton sign language, commented on the video wishing he families “huge congratulations”.

“We are thrilled that you enjoyed our Makaton-signed version of this song so much that it inspired you to get together and make your own video,” they wrote. “What a huge task to get so many Mummies and children involved - bravo to you all! Am sure the world will LOVE this as much as we do xxx”

The heart-warming video was organised by Coventry mum Becky Carless, whose four-year-old son Archie has Down’s syndrome.

She told the Coventry Telegraph: "We believe this video really does have the potential to be the most viewed across the world on World Down Syndrome Day this year, so we urge everyone to share, share, share to help us make it a success!"
