Fantastic and important work making a difference - well done @tinytickers from WDDSSG! Can you spot Zoe holding a WakeyDS picture frame she made at our Saturday Club?!

[Jon Arnold @jonmarnold]

Me, telling BBC Breakfast about being told our unborn baby had a heart defect. @tinytickers has been helping a project to draw up new guidelines for sonographers, to help them communicate unexpected news. Important stuff. (Also, Zoe was very excited to see herself on the telly!)

[Wakefield & District Down's Syndrome Support Group @WakeyDS]

Many congratulations to Heidi and James - absolutely wonderful!!! 😍
