Mum in a million
Ten-year-old Toni Bailey (pictured centre with her mum and sister) sent a letter explaining why her mum is so special and won her mother the Buxton Advertiser "Mum in a Million" competition.
Toni's letter read: "If she got paid for all the work she does, there would be an awful lot of wages due."

Mrs Bailey spent Mother's Day holding a party for Laura, who was seven on Sunday.
Mrs Bailey, who knew nothing about the entry until she was told she had won, said it brought a tear to her eye when she read the letter.
She said: "I was gob-smacked, I was really overwhelmed".
