A
girl born as Britain's smallest baby ever has celebrated her tenth
birthday by being made captain of her school football team.
Aaliyah
Hart was just seven inches long and weighed 12oz when she was born
three months prematurely in 2003.
Doctors
gave her a one per cent chance of survival when they found that her
lungs had not developed properly.
But
Aaliyah - who was small enough to sit in the palm of her mother's
hand - astounded medics by surviving.
When
she started school five years ago her mother, Lorriane, 47, was
nervous she would be knocked over in the playground because she only
weighed the same as a two year old.
But
the youngster has since grown into a healthy schoolgirl and is now a
similar size to her classmates - standing at 4ft and weighing 4 stone
