Six babies were born at the Royal Oldham Hospital on New Year’s Day — four boys and two girls.

The maternity unit’s first delivery on January 1 came four hours and 36 minutes after midnight. Mum Mabella Gul and Dad Mohammed Ashgar Khan (pictured) welcomed their new baby boy, as yet unnamed, a brother for their other son, Mahek.

The baby weighed 8lb 14oz (3.7 kilos). The happy family are pictured celebrating a New Year’s Day they will never forget.
