Britain’s Largest Family: 17 Children and Still Counting

Noel and Sue head up Britain’s largest family, which last week welcomed its latest member — a 7lb 15oz girl called Hallie.
Incredibly, she is the 17th child for the couple whose other children include Chris, 26, Sophie, 21, Chloe, 19, Jack, 17, Daniel, 15, Luke, 14, Millie, 13, Katie, 12, James, 11, Ellie, nine, Aimee, eight, Josh, seven, Max, six, Tillie, four, Oscar, three and two-year-old Caspar.
It may seem like an extraordinary number of children, but Noel, 43, and Sue, 39 — who shot to fame several years ago in the Channel 4 documentary 15 Kids And Counting — are taking it in their stride.
Since Sue got pregnant with their eldest son Chris when she was just 13 — she and Noel were childhood sweethearts — very few years have gone by when she hasn’t been expecting. The couple say they originally planned on having three children, but they loved the experience so much that they simply kept going.
Of course, large families like the Radfords’ are not uncommon. But what makes their story stand out from the usual headlines about double-digit progeny is that they refuse to rely on state benefits. Instead, they work and support themselves by running a successful bakery business.
‘It’s important that our children see us working,’ says Sue, at their ten-bedroom home in Morecambe, Lancashire.
‘When they’re old enough, they go out to work themselves. Chris is a scaffolder while Sophie and Chloe help out in the shop. They have been doing that since they were 14.

AC Milan confirm head coach Filippo Inzaghi dismissal

AC Milan have finally confirmed the dismissal of head coach Filippo Inzaghi.
He was reported to have been dismissed on June 4, with former Sampdoria boss Sinisa Mihajlovic already having announced himself as Inzaghi's successor, but the club have only now officially communicated the 41-year-old's exit.
A short statement on the club's official website read: "AC Milan announces that it has sacked first-team coach Filippo Inzaghi and thanks him for the work he has done."
Inzaghi, who starred for Milan as a striker between 2001 and 2012, replaced former teammate Clarence Seedorf as Rossoneri boss last year.
However, he oversaw a disappointing campaign in which the club finished 10th in Serie A -- their worst position in 17 years -- and he has now been relieved of his duties.
