The pair hadn't seen each other in more than 20 years.
An onstage reunion with a teacher she hadn’t seen since she was a pre-teen brought Grammy Award-winning singer Adele to tears, as the pair were reunited face-to-face for the first time in more than 20 years.

During the star-studded event, Hollywood actor Emma Thompson stood up to ask Adele, 33, whether there was anyone from her past who played a tremendous role in her life.
“When you were younger was there someone who kind of supported you or inspired you or… protected you from all the trials and tribulations of life, and inspired you to go on?” the actor enquired.
The singer shared that her high school English teacher, Ms. McDonald, really inspired her love of language and helped shape her lyric-writing talent.
“She was so bloody cool. So engaging,” Adele added, sharing that McDonald often wore sequins and gold bracelets and liked to lead street dances in the school’s canteen.
“She really made us care, and we knew that she cared about us.”
