It's hoped a trial scheme - offering help to bereaved parents - will be extended across the UK.

There are 15 stillbirths or neonatal deaths on average every day - and an estimated one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage.

Next Monday, Rochester Cathedral will be lit pink and blue in support of parents who've lost a baby.
