Edinburgh baby born weighing less than bag of sugar turns on Christmas lights at hospital

A premature baby from Edinburgh who defied odds after being given just one day to live has switched on the Christmas lights at the hospital where he spent the last year.

Little Hector Tully was born at just 23 weeks on November 12, 2021, weighing less than a bag of sugar at 655 grams.

His parents Marie Clare Tully, 41, and Angus Tully, 41, were told to prepare their goodbyes to their son, with doctors not expecting him to survive more than two days.
