The Vicar of Dibley star, Daw French, posted a lovely snapshot of Billie Henry as a newborn in which they carefully pushed their noses together, filling half of the picture.

Dawn posted a touching message for her daughter, which said, “My exceptional ray. My biggest hardship and biggest blessing. “Happy Birthday, lovely girl.”

French also headed to Twitter, where she shared another shot of herself smiling at the camera as her kid looked the other way.

Dawn and Billie have a tight relationship, and earlier this year, the actress shared a rare snapshot of her daughter Billie with a nice note on Instagram.

“Some lips I love,” Dawn captioned a photo of Billie’s lips, which were adorned with a pink heart shape.

Billie has previously been hailed as “her best achievement.”
