A mother searched desperately for the kind of blanket she wrapped her stillborn baby in and a supermarket found it for her. Tamzyn Rollinson, 29, picked the blanket her own mother had bought for the baby and wrapped her up in it when she was born three weeks ago. She later tried to get hold of the blanket again but it was out of stock everywhere, although when she told staff at Tesco, they went to great lengths to get her one. After a short conversation on the company's Facebook messenger service, the next day they arrived with a blanket, a bunch of flowers and a sympathy card.

Mrs Rollinson said, “After I spoke to them, the next morning they told me they had found one, but I expected just to get an email saying that one would be available for collection at my local store. Then my partner, David called me and there were these two lovely men at my door standing there with a bunch of flowers for me.”

Mrs Rollinson, from Saltdean, West Sussex, said she was looking at pictures of her tiny daughter and noticed how big the hearts on the blanket looked. She decided that she wanted the same kind of the blanket as a memory box to the baby, who her daughters Frankie, 8, and Lacie, 10, never got to meet.

She was so touched by the delivery that she thanked the store on social media with message and a crying emoticon. Mrs Rollinson wrote, “I just want to say thank you to your lovely customer service team. Tescos managed to track one down for me this morning and the lovely staff at the Shoreham by sea branch went out of their way to hand deliver me, not only the beautiful blanket but a gorgeous bunch of flowers and a card too! It was such a kind thing for you all to do and I thank you so much.”
