As the nation marked the 12-month anniversary of the first national lockdown in England this week, we wanted to celebrate the tiny lives brought into the world at around that time.

Here is an adorable picture round-up of your little ones from their first year – a year none of us will forget! Thank you to everyone who shared a photo.
