Beautiful bundles of joy visited the Luton Today offices also home to the Luton News, Dunstable Gazette and Herald & Post - for the annual Baby Of The Year award ceremony on Friday.

Little Jack Gillings, of Briar Close, Luton, scooped the overall Baby Of The Year prize, winning £150 in Asda vouchers and a framed photograph.

Proud parents Michelle Kiff and David Gillings were thrilled with the win and said they would spend the vouchers on clothes for the six-month-old tot.

Each of the category winners also won framed photographs of themselves, as well as £50 Asda vouchers.

Eight-month-old Logan Lewis McDonnell was named winner of the under nine months category, and his parents Dean McDonnell and Claire Harrington, of St Peter's Road, said their framed picture would take pride of place on the living room wall.

Pretty in pink was 10 to 18 month category winner Mia Tiley.

The 15-month-old girl was accompanied by her parents, Adam Tiley and Lisa Gooden, and gave a beaming grin to the nearby camera.

And looking cool in a black baseball cap and no stranger to the Baby Of The Year contest was little lad Adyan Malik, of Rodenheath, Luton.

The two-year-old was runner up in last year's competition but scooped first place in the 19 to 36 month category this time around.

Under nine months runner up Billy Goss was unable to attend the gathering.
