Mum-of-22 Sue Radford gets touching tattoo tribute to stillborn son Alfie – so he ‘walks with me wherever I go’
THE mum of Britain's biggest family has got a touching tattoo tribute to her stillborn son.
One of Sue Radford's 22 kids, a little boy called Alfie, was tragically stillborn on July 6, 2014.
But Sue and husband Noel have kept the lad, who would be six, close to their hearts and regularly visit his grave.
Now the mum has got two tattoos commemorating him - so he "walks with me wherever I go".
Posting on Instagram this weekend, Sue said: "So I’ve had lots of messages and comments asking me what the tattoo is on my hand.
"So thought I’d put a post up to show you - the hand tattoo is Alfie’s handprints and I’ve also got his footprints on my foot.
"I love that I can always see his little hand prints on my hand and that his little feet always walk with me wherever I go".
As well as the footprints, Sue got the words "Alfie Thomas Radford" and his birth date inked on her foot.
The post picked up thousands of likes and comments praising the "beautiful" sentiment, calling it "precious" and "so lovely".
