THERE were smiles all round as the winners of the Chronicle’s Top Tots competition collected their prizes.

Little Callum Gledhill won the 12-36 months section, captivating readers with his cheeky grin.

A big smile put Delilah Edwards top of the bunch in the 0-12 months category, and Tilly Meyrick shot to victory in the 36 months to five years group with her cool hairdo.

The tots won the titles amid fierce competition. Readers voted for their favourite contestants, and the top three in each category then went before judges who made the final decision.
