For Reading Nostalgia this week, we are keeping with the New Year theme as we are celebrating babies being born on New Year’s Day.
The year we have chosen is the year of 2008, so a happy belated 14th birthday to all the new borns that celebrate their birthday on January 1.
Usman Ali and his son, Hamzah Ali
It is not uncommon for someone to be born on the year’s first day, but, it with people always wanting fresh starts and new challenges, what a better way to start a new year with your beautiful son or daughter arriving into the world.

So, who was born on January 1, 2008, in Reading?
Jessica Hope and her son, Tyreece
One of the babies that make their debut appearance to the world was little Hamzah Ali, and as you can see, his dad, Usman, was very happy to holding his son.
