A mum was left in tears after asking for a 'sign' from her son on the anniversary of his death, only to get one later that day at his grave.
45-year-old Marie Robinson tragically lost her son Jack on April 2014, after having been diagnosed only four months prior.
He left behind his twin brother Liam and three older sisters.

Three years on, Marie asked for a sign when mourning Jack's passing on Saturday.
She said she got into her car and said out loud, "Jack, please show mummy a sign" before heading off to work.

At 1pm, she left work and visited his resting place
"With that a little robin kept flying around me trying to land on me, eventually landing on my foot - he didn't seem scared at all," Marie told Mirror Online.
"He went and sat on a nearby headstone so I got my phone out to film him being close to me and he flew over and landed on my hand.

"He kept looking at me directly in my face and at one point he landed on my shoulder and nibbled me a couple of times."
She shared the video on her Facebook page, writing: "Can't believe what's just happened, come (sic) to see my precious boy Jack - just sat down on ground next to him and this happened.
"Yes it brought me to tears. Taking it as a sign from Jack."
In spiritual circles, robins are seen as symbols of deceased loved ones still being present.
"This bird is a visitor and as such should be appreciated as a welcome visitor bringing gifts," the Spiritual Centre website says. "It is for you to interpret the gifts it brings.

"Someone recently passed may be showing you that you are being watched, maybe just letting you know that they still love you."
Marie's video has been shared thousands of times.
