A young boy who underwent open-heart surgery after suffering a heart attack as a tot has appeared as the star guest at the Christmas lights switch on at a hospital in Glasgow.
Jack Sneddon, who has been a patient at the city's Royal Hospital for Children 'for as long as he can remember', returned to the facility where he received the life-changing operation to kick off the festive season.
The brave six-year-old had a cardiac arrest on the day he was born, which led to open-heart surgery at just two years old. Jack is currently being treated for heart failure by a team of specialists while he waits for a transplant.
