LITTLE Jack Beavan is already a winner after being named Blackburn Boots' bonniest baby in their Millennium competition.

Jack, aged 16 months, won toys and nappies while parents Paul and Samantha, of New Bank Road, Blackburn, were presented with goodie bags of perfume and other gifts. Jack's photograph will be judged alongside pictures of more than 1,300 other store winners from all over Britain.

If he's one of eight lucky finalists he will win more than £1,000 of prizes, a weekend break at Center Parcs and other prizes.

There's still time to enter the Lancashire Evening Telegraph's bonny baby competition. Just send us a photograph of your baby with a donation of at least £2, which will be given to the Edith Watson maternity unit at Burnley General Hospital and the special baby unit at Queen's Park Hospital, Blackburn.

All the pictures will be published in a special supplement and readers can vote for their favourite tot. Winners will receive £100 Debenhams vouchers, framed portraits and a trophy.
