A BABY from Fairford has been crowned Baby of the Year at Cirencester Hospital's annual Fete.

Jacob Stevens, who is 18 months old, won the League of Friends Baby Show, held on June 11.

The show has been going for more than sixty years and twenty years ago, Bridges Motors donated a shield for the Baby of the Year winners' names to be recorded. Jacob's name will be the last one on it.

The shield is displayed in the old area of the hospital that was once the Querns Maternity Hospital.
