CROWDS of worshipper­s flocked to Knock Shrine after a teenager claimed he was told to expect a vision of the Virgin Mary.

According to reports Our Lady had been due to appear at 3pm – but there were no reports of any vision yesterday afternoon.

A 14-year-old Traveller boy’s family had reported how the Virgin Mary and others appeared to him during a visit to Fatima in May.

Reports of his experience – during which he was told she would appear at in Co Mayo and bless those present – had spread via social media throughout the Traveller community.

The teen’s father posted an audio message online describing what his son had witnessed while at the shrine in Portugal.
