As Nicola Delemere struggled through the pain of contractions, she was gripped with greater fears than the average expectant mother.
She and her husband were 30,000ft in the air on a plane to Crete, she was 25weeks into her pregnancy - and there were no doctors on board.
The jet had been diverted when her waters broke but Mrs Delemere knew that Alfie couldn't wait for landing.
Somewhere above Dusseldorf in Germany, as she sat in her seat with an air hostess and a passenger acting as midwives, he arrived, barely alive and weighing only 1lb 1oz.
