GIRL power is going strong in one East Lancashire family after little Macie Lee’s arrival made it five female generations.

Macie Lee Doyle, who was born on June 24, was taken by her mother Leanne Waddington, 24, of Lindisfarne Avenue, Blackburn, to meet up with her grandmother, Carole Waddington, 42, great-grandmother Barbara Waddington, 65, and great-great-grandmother Vera Cliffe, 95, at a family get-together in Whalley.

Barbara, of Accrington, said: “It is very unusual to have five generations of the family all together and all-female.”
