THE mother of a three-year-old boy who died on a west Wales farm has paid a moving tribute to her “inspiration to life”.
Ianto Sior Jenkins tragically died in a collision with a vehicle while riding his bike in the Clynderwen area of Pembrokeshire on Tuesday (August 3)
Chloe Picton said her little boy loved being out on the farm and going on the tractor with his dad.
She said in an emotional tribute on Friday: “Ianto was my blue-eyed boy, he was inspiration to life, he was a kind little boy who was always smiling and laughing.
“His best friend was his older sister Seren, who were always joined at the hip. Ianto loved going to nursery and was excited to start his first day at school in Ysgol Beca in Efailwen in September.
