Elsewhere in the city in the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital, a baby was born just minutes before the clock struck midnight.

At 11.54pm Shadiya Karenzi, 30, gave birth to Nain Prince by emergency section. The youngster weighed in at 3.520kg (7lb 76oz).

The first baby born after midnight arrived at 3.16am. Chloe McKee, 21, gave birth to little Rio, who tipped the scales at 3.954kg (8lb 71oz).

And next up Emma Dolan, 23, gave birth to a little girl, Bailey, by emergency section at 5.10am on Christmas morning. Little Bailey weighed 2.662kg (5lb 86oz).

Congratulations to all the families celebrating an extra special Christmas gift this year.
