Wedding photo is a life saver

Fintan's Grandad O'Brien added this as a comment on an earlier post today. I thought you might like to read it so I have added it here. It's an extract from a newspaper article he read in the Daily Telegraph, but I also found on the Sky News website.

A photograph at a family wedding saved three-year-old Sophie Ripley's life as she posed for pictures with her twin sister Molly. Their parents looking at the pictures days later noticed Sophie's left eye had a black spot.A specialist diagnosed retinoblastoma and Sophie from Shiregreen, Sheffield, had the eye removed in a life saving operation.
