Northern Ireland mum's tribute to son who died in swimming pool incident on holiday

The mother of a Co Tyrone child who drowned after falling into a swimming pool has released a book in his memory.

Little Ryan Espie, from Dungannon, died when on the family's first holiday abroad to the Canary Islands on July 2, 2000. And 22 years on, not a day goes by where his smiling face is not at the forefront of his mother's mind.

Mum Olivia launched a picture book this week called 'Ryan's Rules'. The children's book was created to bring about awareness of water safety in summer months, particularly around swimming pools, paddling pools, rivers, lakes and the sea.
