But then she heard a familiar guttural roar – and it turned into a day she will never forget.
For her mum Niki Clark had organised a drive-by convoy of her favourite car, the Mustang, past the front of their Swaffham home.
Miss Walker said: “I just got back from picking up my nephew from school and my family wouldn’t let me in the house. Then I saw all my family driving by beeping their horns followed by the Mustangs.
“I wasn’t expecting it at all, I was so shocked and happy. I couldn’t stop smiling and shaking.”

Mrs Clark, 50, had already cancelled the family birthday party and other plans fell through.
She said: “I didn’t know what else to do for her so arranged for some family and friends to take part in a drive-by to wish her a happy birthday.”
