Seeing your favourite band live for the first time is always a big moment.

But for 15-year-old Coldplay fan, Hannah, the experience proved to be unforgettable.

She and her friend Autumn were plucked from a crowd of 90,000 people to go up on stage and introduce the band at Wembley.

The teen, from the New Forest, said she has watched videos of the moment countless times since the concert on Thursday.

Explaining what it was like, Hannah said: "Everytime we spoke and the roar of the crowd, it just hit you like a shockwave and you couldn't believe it."

The pair had arrived early to get a place at the front when the Coldplay team asked if they would like to be the ones to go up on stage that night.

"They asked me and I just broke down crying and said 'yes'," Hannah said.

"They told us how fast to say words, how loud to be - most importantly they just told us to take it all in."

Hannah and her mum are sat on a brown leather sofa, looking at the camera and smiling. Hannah's blonde hair is in a half-up, half-down hairstyle and she is wearing her black Coldplay t shirt. Her muma, Kate, has short died blonde hair. She is wearing a black Southampton FC top.

Hannah's mum Kate was also at Wembley Stadium on Thursday and said she felt overwhelming pride

Hannah says she has inherited her love of Coldplay from her grandma, who bought Hannah's tickets as a Christmas present, and her mum Kate - who was also at Wembley Stadium that night.

Kate said: "I just felt an overwhelming feeling of pride and amazement, that was my little girl on the stage."

After the girls' moment in the spotlight was over, the excitement continued, as they briefly met the band and watched the concert from the side of the stage.

Hannah added: "I feel like I'm still dreaming, I feel like I've just made this all up in my head and it didn't actually happen to me.

"[I] just felt on top of the world, it was the best thing I've ever felt in my life."

A piece of paper is being held close to the camera with a pair of 3D glasses. The paper has a script on it which reads: 
Person 1: Hello London!
Person 2: Welcome to Music of the Spheres! 
Person 1: My name is [insert name]
Person 2: And my name is [insert name]
Person 1: On behalf of Wembley Stadium and the City of London, is our great honour to introduce Chris, Guy, Will and Johnny on stage tonight.
Person 2: But first, a kind reminder to please keep your Moongoogles in your pocket until Angel Moon asks us to put them on! 
Person 1: Let's all get ready to have an amazing time tonight at Wembley Stadium.
Person 2: Please make some noise for...
Person 1 + 2: COLDPLAY!
