Jamil came in to the world on the bathroom floor of his home in Hampden Park - he was delivered by his grandad.

“We were on our way to a day out in Brighton and we walked through the Arndale Centre - Jamil was just in his little beach suit – and this lady approached us and said ‘your baby is beautiful, would you like to enter a competition?’.”

The runner-up is Grace (pictured above). Grace, like Jamil, was one-year-old when she entered.
