An eagle-eyed grandmother saved her grandson's life after she noticed an unusual shadow on the toddler's eye in a holiday photo.

Three-year-old Ewan Boarder, had developed a rare eye cancer but was showing no symptoms of the killer illness.

However, his grandmother Beverley Warner, 61, noticed a white shadow on his eye when she was leafing through photos taken on a recent holiday to the Isle of Wight.
Three-year-old Ewan Boarder with his mother Samantha and sister Elise. Ewan had a prosthetic eye fitted after he lost his right eye to a rare cancer

She remembered reading about a child with cancer who had the same shadow in a photograph and warned Ewan's parents.

Ewan was referred to the local hospital which in turn sent him on to a London hospital which diagnosed that he was suffering from retinoblastoma - a deadly tumour of the retina. Although he went on to lose an eye he survived the disease.
