Mum plea for tragic girl pics
THE mum of the toddler killed in a trampoline accident in July has appealed for thieves to return stolen photos of her daughter.
An ipad with unique pics of Ava-may Littleboy, age three, was stolen from her grandmother’s car.
Mum Chloe, 25, said: “I hope they see the pictures and realise the little girl is no longer here, and the family want the ipad back.”
Police said the theft happened in Somersham, Suffolk, last Tuesday. BRAVE Mirror reporters Rhian Lubin and Laura Connor help to recreate one of the most famous photographs ever dangling high above the city.
The original was snapped in 1932, as Depression-era workers took a tea break while building the Rockefeller Center in New York.
And the Mirror ladies put on flat caps and overalls to tuck-in alongside a descendant of that courageous original crew. George Glynn, 25, from Galway, is a relative of Irish immigrant Sonny Glynn, seated on the far right in the original.
He said: “The danger in the photo was genuine. They really will have been risking their lives.”
Yesterday’s recreation, arranged by Deliveroo, 450ft up near London Bridge, was much less dangerous thanks to the use of safety harnesses.
And the verdict of our high-flying pair? “Terrifying – but the views were spectacular.”
