A LOVING neighbour carried out one last act of kindness before he died – by buying the little girl next door Christmas presents for the next 14 years.
Kindhearted retired diver Ken Watson, 87, adored little Cadi Williams next door and started secretly packing away presents in his home.
And just hours after he died, Cadi’s parents Owen and Caroline Williams were brought to tears when the lovingly-bought presents were delivered to their door.
The presents will last until two-year-old Cadi is grown up to sweet sixteen.
Ken’s daughter discovered the sack full of goodies following the retired deep sea diver’s death on Monday and took them next door.
Owen, of Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, said: “She was clutching this big bag plastic sack and I thought it was rubbish she was going to ask me to throw out.
“But she said it was everything her dad had put away for Cadi. It was all of the Christmas presents he had bought for her.
“I brought it back in and my wife was on FaceTime to her mum in Ireland. My wife started to tear up and I started to tear up, and her mum started to tear up.
“It’s difficult describing it because it was so unexpected. I don’t know how long he put them away whether it was over the last two years or whether he bought them towards the end of his life.”
Ken always told neighbours he hoped he live until he was 100-years-old to see Cadi grow up.

The family have opened one of the presents but are not sure what to do about the rest.
It was a children’s book called Christmas Eve at the Mellops’ by Tomi Ungerer.
Owen said: “We can tell there’s some books, there’s three or four soft toys, maybe some Duplo.”
Ken, described as “real, real character” did skydiving, wing-walking and parachute jumps and also played the accordion.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
