The 11-month-old baby beat 269 other entrants aged up to 24 months and was chosen by a special panel of judges after nearly 3,000 votes were cast.
Gracie and her proud parents, Sarah Manning (23) and Allan Findlay (25), joined other finalists Soren Tonsberg, with parents Aimée and Frederik, and Roma Young, with parents Becky and Mark, at Steve Wellum’s photography studio yesterday for the results.
Gracie’s mum and dad were understandably delighted: ‘We’re over the moon. There were so many gorgeous babies that entered and for Gracie to be picked makes us so happy,’ said Sarah.
