Mrs Taylor said: 'We were thrilled by the support we had, we are so grateful to everyone who came and celebrated that little added extra with us.

'We spent a lovely evening celebrating World Down's Syndrome Day with old friends and we were lucky enough to make some new ones.

'We cannot thank the Assembly House enough for giving us a room to meet. The children had fun playing with their friends and the adults had a great time catching up.'

Mrs Lee and Mrs Taylor document the lives of their children, best buddies Mason and Eli, who are both aged four and have Down's Syndrome, on Facebook to help support other families.
