MUM-OF-22 Sue Radford has shared her heartbreak on what would have been the birthday of her late son Alfie, who was stillborn.
Britain’s biggest family paid tribute with an emotional post to the little boy, who would have turned six years old this week.
Sue shared a photo of the large brood paying tribute at Alfie’s gravestone, which was decorated with flowers, toys and a balloon.
The Lancashire-based mum wrote on Instagram: “This day never gets any easier.
“What I’d give for one more cuddle with our beautiful boy. Happy 6th heavenly birthday Alfie.
“We love you to the moon and stars little man #stillborn #lovedandmissed.”
Alfie was the couple’s 17th child, who was stillborn on July 6, 2014.
The dedicated parents frequently visit little Alfie’s resting place, and took their latest baby Heidie to the grave in May.
Sue, 45, and husband Noel, 49, welcomed Heidie into their king-size clan during lockdown on April 3.
Heidie is the latest of the couple's children, which include: Chris, 31, who no longer lives at the family home; Sophie, 25, who has also moved out; Chloe, 24; Jack, 22; Daniel, 20; Luke, 19; Millie, 18; Katie, 17; James, 16; Ellie, 15; Aimee, 14; Josh, 13; Max, 11; Tillie, 10; Oscar, eight; Casper, seven; Hallie, five; Phoebe, three; Archie, two, and Bonnie, who turned one in November.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun about Heidie’s delivery, the supermum said: “The ten-hour labour was hard.
“But now we have weeks of isolation with a newborn baby. Let the crazy times begin.
“Only two of the kids have flown the nest, so we are all home now for the foreseeable.”
The parents of Britain’s biggest family support themselves and run a bakery.
Sue, who has spent more than 800 weeks of her life pregnant, has sworn this will be her last baby — but has said the same in the past.
Sue often shares photos of her gigantic family’s life to 296,000 followers, and she now has her work cut out for her entertaining her kids during lockdown.
At Easter, Sue also showed off a gigantic chocolate egg wall that she had made in her lounge for the entire family.
And after she gave birth, the doting mum shared a snap of her brood tucking into a vast spread of delicious-looking Domino’s pizza on their lounge floor.
Shopping for Britain’s biggest family means Sue’s shopping list already included 100 nappies, 16 loaves of bread, 114 pints of milk, 48 large eggs, 3kg of pasta, 24 chicken breasts and 28 toilet rolls.
Noel recently shared his tips for cooking on a budget including pies and pasta for 22 kids.
And Sue revealed the incredible water park the parents built for their kids during lockdown.
The mum-of-22 also showed off her huge picnic dinner spread and admits ‘we need a bigger table’.
