Mandy Coleman helps her one-year-old son Spencer Morrison stay aboard Treacle

Mandy Coleman helps her one-year-old son Spencer Morrison stay aboard Treacle, one of two 30-year-old rocking horses at Aberdeen Children's Hospital, which opened in January. The rocking horses were at the hospital's old site and restored with fundraising by Nigel and Catherine King in memory of their five-year-old son Alistair, who died of a brain tumour. Mrs King said, 'The horses look brand new. If they hadn't been restored, they possibly wouldn't have been moved, which would have been a shame because the children love them.'
