A mother who searched for the Tesco blanket she had wrapped her stillborn baby in has thanked Tesco staff after they tracked the item down for her.
Tamzyn Rollison, 29, used a patterened blanket from Tesco to wrap her baby girl when she was born just three weeks ago.
The mother-of-two had tried to get a hold of the same blanket for a memory box to remember her daughter, but it was out of stock.
After taking her query to customer services, Tesco staff went to incredible lengths to track down the blanket and delivered a heart felt gesture to her front door.
The next day, two staff members drove 16 miles to Tamzyn's address to hand deliver the blanket alongside a bunch of flowers and a sympathies card.
Touched by their gesture, Tamzyn thanked staff members on Facebook after she was moved to tears.
She said: "I really wanted to get a hold of this certain blanket as my little girl was stillborn nearly three weeks ago and this is the same blanket I wrapped her in when she was born, so I wanted one for myself to go in her memory box."
"Tescos managed to track one down for me and the lovely staff went out of their way to hand deliver me not only the beautiful blanket but a gorgeous bunch of flowers and a card too."
She continued: "It was such a kind thing for you all to do and I thank you so much."
The heartwarming post was shared on Facebook over 6,000 times and received an outpouring of sympathetic comments from users all over the world.
Amanda Catt said: "I am so very sorry for your loss. My first daughter was stillborn almost 10 years ago, and I feel your pain so deeply. That blanket, and their gesture, will remain in a special place in your heart."
Casey Kaye Trasatti said: "I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad they were so kind and were able to make you happy in a difficult time."
Patti Berardone said: "God bless you and your family. And the men that came to your door!"
A Tesco spokesperson said: 'Our colleagues were very sorry to hear of Ms Rollinson's loss and wanted to do what they could to provide some comfort at this difficult time.'
