ONE of our new regular features in the Bury Times gives doting mums and dads the chance to preserve their new arrivals for posterity in our Welcome to the World section.

All that we are asking is for a picture of your new son and daughter with their full name, the date, time and place of birth, the baby's weight, details of any older siblings and a special message to pass on to the newborn.

Submissions will then be featured in the Bury Times on Thursdays and subsequently online.

Entries can be sent to our community manager Simone O'Kane via e-mail at simone.okane@newsquest.co.uk
