CHRISTMAS Day brought a bumper bundle of joy for Skipton couple Matthew and Devon Tancock, whose first baby was born at Airedale Hospital.

Devon gave birth to a baby boy weighing 7lb 3oz at 5.10am, a first grandchild for her parents and her husband's parents.

They had decided they did not want to know the sex of the baby before it was born. "We wanted it to be a surprise," Matthew said.

The couple are still deciding on a name for their son.
