One-year-old Ivy Filmer has a smile that has charmed the nation after being crowned Sunbeam of the Year in the Sun newspaper’s baby photo competition.

Ivy was chosen by readers from more than 15,000 entries.

Mum Lucy said: “We actually found out that she’d won on June 1, which was her birthday. “It’s made our year. And what a birthday present for Ivy.”

Ivy has spent most of her life in lockdown with Lucy, dad Aaron, 29, and brother Eddy, two, at home in Sidley.
