Boy's skull taken apart and pieced together again

The parents of a young boy from Bedfordshire have described how a rare condition meant his skull had to be taken apart and pieced back together 'like a jigsaw puzzle'.

Harry Phipps, who's now 15 months old, was diagnosed with Craniosynostosis last year.

It meant parts of his skull had fused together too early, and could have led to serious complications.

But he's now made a full recovery, after undergoing a major operation.
