WELCOME to the world, some of Basingstoke's newest residents.

Say hello to these adorable little ones who were either born during lockdown or at the end of last year, just months before the nation entered the national pandemic.

During this past year, parents across Basingstoke have been welcoming their brand new babies into the world during exceptional circumstances.

With restrictions still in place, new parents have been unable to share their joy with others in the usual way which is why we have been highlighting newborns each week to keep everyone's spirits high and celebrate this new generation.

This week we say hello to Miles Macintyre (September 20), Milly Baker (June 17), Tommy Syrad (July 5), Rhys Hood (March 28) and Maddison Aria Ann (June 24).
