A daughter of Britain's biggest family has paid sweet tribute to her grandfather by making his favourite jumper into a memory bear.
Sue Radford’s beloved father died in May 2019, leading to several heartfelt tributes from their family and friends.
And to further honour his memory, granddaughter Katie, 19, had a memory bear created from his favourite fleece.
She wrote on Instagram : “Grandad's favourite fleece made into a teddy. I love it, thank you so much Claire’s Memory Bears.”
She added: “Another year another birthday without you grandad you’d be turning 83 today but you still acted like a child but I loved it.
“Happy 83rd birthday grandad I love and miss you lots and I’ll always cherish all the memories and holiday I got to spend with you [sic].”
Sue described 2019 as her "hardest year" following her father’s death.
She said in an Instagram post: “I feel so incredibly lucky to have been blessed with him as my dad, he was the most amazing dad and granddad to our children and I just feel so utterly broken that he’s gone.”
The family are the stars of Channel 5 show "22 Kids and Counting" and also run a bakery business, The Radford Pie Company.
Sue and husband Noel are parents to Chris, 32, Sophie, 27, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 12, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one.
The family is going to grow by another in the near future, after third eldest child Chloe revealed she is pregnant with her first child today.
Sharing a picture of her bump online, she said: “Mum and dad. Feeling blessed, grateful and full of so much love. We can’t wait to meet our little one this year."
The family replied: “So, so excited 2022 is going to be an AMAZING year."
