A SALE resident has snapped up a top prize in a national photography competition after sending in a heartwarming photograph of his daughter.
Stephen Campbell, 35, won a silver award in Mencap's national photography competition Snap! which aims to increase the understanding of people with learning difficulties.

"This is our 4-year-old daughter Elizabeth. She can't walk or talk. She can however, laugh and we celebrate this every day with tickles!"
Celebrity photographer Rankin, who was a judge, said: "Using photographs and stories together gives a unique insight into a person's life.
