Loving new parents, Vicky Chell, 36, and Daniel Atkinson, 38, have welcomed their first child in an extra special birth, all backdropped by an amazing New Year fireworks display.

The couple, both from Wordsley, first met at Russells Hall Hospital 13 years ago where Vicky was a nurse practitioner and Daniel was a physiotherapist.

Now, the couple has welcomed their first child, baby Robyn-Lily Atkinson, who is the second child to be born at Russells Hall Hospital in the 2024 year.

First-time mother, Vicky Chell, who is still a nurse at the hospital, said: "It's still a bit jarring, to be honest, It's all still a bit fresh. We are feeling really great about it though.
