A photograph taken at a family wedding may have helped to save the life of an 18-month-old girl.
The picture of Sophie Cooke with her twin sister Molly should have showed their sets of blue eyes, but instead Sophie's left eye was completely black.
The light from the flash should have reflected from the back of the eye, but a tumor was blocking the light path and the eye showed up as black.
Days later the family, from Sheffield, discovered she had eye cancer.
Sophie, who is now two years old, was fitted with a prosthetic eye earlier this year.
Ms Cooke said: "We are just so glad the photograph was taken that day, as it helped save my daughter's life."

I know a couple who had the same exact thing happen with their baby. Holiday photographs showed something was going on with her eyes and sure enough, a tumor was found. Child is doing okay a year and a half later.
