Day 2 - Oliver(5) in the burns unit at Odstock hospital in Salisbury.
A five-year-old boy suffered serious burns to his foot after standing on an abandoned barbecue at a busy beach.
Oliver Briggs was enjoying an afternoon at the seaside when he stepped on the smouldering fire pit buried in the sand.
He screamed in agony and his shocked mum Kristina Willmore carried him into the sea to cool the burn.
Oliver was then rushed to A&E and had to be transferred to a hospital with a specialist burns unit.
He suffered severe blistering to the sole of his right foot. Medics had to cut away the blistered skin and wrap Oliver in bandages.
