FOR Worcester residents who welcomed a newborn to their family during October, we’re sure the local lockdown restrictions have had a huge impact.

Hopefully it won’t be long before aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents can celebrate their new arrival together.

The latest new arrival to bring a smile to faces of Worcester News readers is Riagan May Du Block, who came into the world on Tuesday, September 8 at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, weighing 7lb 13oz.

Riagan’s proud mum and dad are Agi and Matt Blocksidge, from Fernhill Heath.

If you live in or around Worcester and you had a baby during October 2020, we’d like to hear from you.

Many happy parents have been delighted to see their little ones on our pages so far this year.

We also produce a monthly gallery of pictures online, so look out for our appeals if you’re due to give birth this year.

To appear in the Worcester News and on our website, all submitted pictures should include the baby’s full name, date of birth, weight at birth and the area of Worcester you live.
