“His best friend was his older sister Seren, who were always joined at the hip. Ianto loved going to nursery and was excited to start his first day at school in Ysgol Beca in Efailwen in September.

“He loved being out on the farm and going on the tractor with his daddy. Ianto and I had a very strong bond, he was ‘Mummy’s little boy’ and was always by my side everywhere we went, now that’s been taken from me.

“No parent should lose a child and I would like people to respect our wishes, giving us space at this very difficult, heart breaking time,” she added.
