A holiday picture saved the life of a two-year-old boy after it spotlighted a cancerous tumour in his right eye.

Ewan Boarder, now three, showed no signs of being ill when the photograph was taken while on holiday on the Isle of Wight.

However, when his grandmother Beverly Warner saw the snap, in which a white shadow can be seen in Ewan's eye, she was immediately concerned.

She remembered reading about a child with cancer who had the same shadow in a photograph and warned Ewan's parents to get him checked out.

When mum Samantha, 32, took Ewan to the doctors he was sent to the local hospital before being referred to London where he was diagnosed with a retinoblastoma - a deadly tumour of the retina.
