A premature Scots baby who defied odds after being given just one day to live has switched on the Christmas lights at the hospital where he spent the last year.

Hector Tully was born at just 23 weeks on November 12 2021, weighing less than a bag of sugar at 655 grams. His parents Marie Clare Tully, 41, and Angus Tully, 41, were told to prepare their goodbyes to their son, with doctors not expecting him to survive more than two days.

But despite his health conditions, little Hector continued to fight, with his family now looking forward to celebrating his first Christmas at home.

At the weekend, the now one-year-old turned on the Christmas lights at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People in Edinburgh, where he spent 259 nights and underwent 15 operations.
