It's a once in a lifetime day as Charlotte hits ten on 10/10/10
Charlotte Lewis was among an exclusive group of children who were able to mark the once in a lifetime opportunity yesterday.
The ten-year-old youngster, from Pool-in-Wharfedale, was joined by family and was presented with a special birthday cake made by her grandmother Barbara Taylor, ahead of a party later this month with friends.

Charlotte was due to be born in November but when nature intervened, she was handed the unique chance for a special birthday.
Mrs Lewis, 44, said: "She was not supposed to be born in October, she was supposed to be born on her granddad's birthday on November 3 but she was in a breech position throughout the pregnancy and she tried to turn around so I had to have an emergency Caesarean section."
The staff nurse, who works at Leeds General Infirmary, added: "Charlotte is a vivacious, lively and very happy little child. She is great, fabulous company and lovely to have around."
