Football to the face revealed Pinxton girl's cancer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Aaron's five-year-old daughter, Harper, developed a lump on her neck hours after being hit in the face by a football at school, he expected doctors to say she had a cyst. "Never in a million years" did he think their visit to an urgent treatment centre would lead to her being diagnosed with cancer.

Great grandmother amazed by 'abnormal' sunflower (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"I could have called it Jack, because it's like Jack and the Beanstalk. It's not a monstrosity, it's just so tall." Gwen Foster, who is just over 5ft (1.5m), struggles to see the top of a sunflower she grew outside her home, which she believes is twice her height. The 95-year-old, from Ashbourne in Derbyshire, was given two seeds by her neighbour, and described the flower as being "really abnormal".
