| SLATER. AMPUTEE SOLDIER FRIENDS OF PRINCE HARRY GET NEW LEGS |
| THESE are brave amputee soldiers Duncan Slater and Guy Disney trying out their new running blades.
The carbon fibre blades were fitted earlier this week so that the determined pair can both run the London Marathon.
It is the first time the pair have been able to run since they both had their limbs blown off in Afghanistan. Sgt Slater, who lives in Diss, Norfolk, was told that he would never walk again.
But both men have proved their determination and took part in the Walking with the Wounded South Pole race with Prince Harry in December last year. |

| BLACKFORD. I DIDN'T BURN MY SON. |
| ‘Have you poured boiling water over your son,’ the woman asked me accusingly.
I almost couldn’t answer her, I was in so much shock that she could even think such a thing.
I would never dream of harming my son Jayden, he was my world.
But people didn’t understand why he looked so different - I was always being accused of leaving him out in the sun to burn, but this was the first time that anyone had ever actually asked me if I’d poured boiling water over him. |

| Standing at my local soft-play centre, I beamed with pride as my 9 month old son George, pulled himself up via another Mum's leg. He was so sociable, giggling at the slightest thing, especially the silly faces me and my husband Richard, 27, pulled. |

| LONGHURST. MUM GIVES BIRTH TO THREE BABIES IN 12 MONTHS |
| I lay on the scanning table and couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
‘Congratulations, I can see two heartbeats,’ smiled the sonographer, running the scanner over my tummy.
I looked at my husband Warren and we both couldn’t speak with the shock. How could I possibly be pregnant with twins. Our daughter Sophie was only six months old. How on earth was I going to cope?
We had both been thrilled when I gave birth to Sophie in July 2011. We wanted to have our babies close together, so when Sophie was six months old, I had an idea. |
