The father of a six-month-old girl who died in a car crash has paid tribute to his "smiling bundle of joy".

Mili Wyn Ginniver and her aunt Anna Williams, 22, died after their car hit a lorry on the A487 in Gellilydan near Blaenau Ffestiniog in Gwynedd.

The baby's mother Sioned Williams was driving the car and remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition.

Mili's father Luke Ginniver said it was a privilege to be her dad and she gave him "the best six months of my life."

"U were a joy to wake up to, such a happy smiling bundle of joy," he posted on Facebook.

"With your smile (you) could melt a million hearts and your giggle did nothing but bring happiness where ever u were.

"U had a short time but did so much and seen so many things you even had your own little group of friends and was taken to soon but me and mam love u millions and u have taken a huge piece of our hearts."

Mili, from Blaenau Ffestiniog, and Ms Williams, from Penrhyndeudraeth, died after the Ford Fiesta they were travelling in collided with a lorry on 11 January.

The family dog Celt was also killed in the crash.

Two vigils have taken place in Penrhyndeudraeth on Thursday and in Porthmadog on Monday to remember the victims and a fundraising page set up by a family friend has now raised more than £17,500.
