The family who'll never forget their premature daughter's first St David's Day

St David's Day is a day we celebrate our Welshness and remember to 'do the little things'. And six-year-old Esther Gwyn Ellis will be doing exactly that.

In 2015, Esther spent the first month of her life in a special care baby unit after dropping to a dangerously low 3lb 7oz. But thanks to her amazing doctors and nurses, the tot was able to recover and return home safely.

To mark her first ever St David's Day, her proud parents, Bethan and Luke Ellis, originally from Swansea but living in Manchester at the time, decided to dress their daughter in the smallest traditional Welsh costume they could find on eBay.
