Rebecca Adlington marks one year since losing 'angel' daughter Harper in devastating miscarriage with a heartbreaking poem written by husband Andrew Parsons


The Olympic medalist, 35, said that while her family talk about the little one 'every single day' she had 'battled' with how to best honour the heartbreaking anniversary.

Rebecca Adlington marked one year since losing daughter Harper in a devastating miscarriage with a poem written by husband Andrew Parsons on Sunday. The athlete shared photos of a tree buried in Harper's honour as well as a candle which read: 'Harper, always in our hearts you are our shining star and guiding angel'. 'I never got to hear your beautiful voice, I'd swap with you in a heartbeat if given the choice, You've made my love grow deeper than I possibly knew, How can something so small make me see things in a better view'.
