HERO Johnson Beharry has had mini versions of his Victoria Cross and other medals made for his newborn baby son.
Sergeant Beharry, 34, was awarded the VC in 2005 after twice saving the lives of his colleagues while serving in Iraq the previous year.
His wife Mallissa gave birth to son Ayden last month.
Speaking about fatherhood, he revealed: “Before Iraq I never imagined being a dad. I lived on the edge and thought it was inevitable that I would die.”
“ I love him so much.I watch as he sleeps, then stay awake until dawn. My job is being on guard in the Army, so it comes naturally.”
