It was a happy New Year for proud parents Emma and Jamie Towers as they welcomed their daughter Sorrena into the world as the first baby born in 2018 at George Eliot Hospital.
Baby Sorrena, their first child, arrived at 8:46 am weighing 7lbs 14 oz and was the only arrival so far on New Years Day at George Eliot Maternity Unit.
The couple from Bulkington praised the midwives, with Dad Jamie saying: "They have been fabulous, they've done an amazing job looking after us."
