TURNING three is an important step in any young girl's life but for Emily Mary Leigh-Clayton Monday is extra special.

For Emily, who lives in Cross Hills, will celebrate her third birthday on the third day of the third month of the third year of the third millennium!

The youngster is hoping for some Fimbles and a scooter for her birthday and will be partying at Dalesway, a Brewster's restaurant in Crossflatts, near Keighley, and at her home.
