Hayley’s daughter Georgia, the great-grandchild of Eileen, who also lives in Northampton, gave birth to baby Olivia.

Hayley said: “Eileen was absolutely overwhelmed; I don’t think she ever thought that she would be able to see a great-great-grandchild, so she is very blessed and very happy.

"We are a close family, and we visit each other as regularly as we can as we all live fairly nearby, which is brilliant.”

To celebrate the birth of Olivia, the five female generations of the family took a photograph to mark the occasion.
