Two little stars made a bright and early appearance on Christmas Day at the John Radcliffe Hospital's Women's Centre.

Isac weighed in at the hospital's maternity suite shortly before 5am, half an ounce over 8lb, for parents Annette and Arnout Arntz, of Lower End, Leafield, near Witney. The new arrival is brother to two-year-old Eran.

Another proud mother was Mandy Giraud, of Andover Close, Bicester, whose baby boy -- so far unnamed -- is a brother for Zarius, three.
