Transgender champion Alicia Perry has told how she was moved to tears when she was chosen to represent Ireland at a beauty pageant.

The Belfast woman fought off competition from across the island to become the first woman who has undergone a sex change to reach the Face of the Globe finals in April 2016.

She added: "When I was a kid, the idea of a transgender girl looking pretty, feminine and elegant was amazing to me.
