A father whose two-year-old boy fell to his death at a five-star hotel in Cyprus has been fined 3,000 euro (£2,500).
Joshua Foster thought the window was closed when he placed the boy on a sill to show him the view of a waterpark and "lost control" of him, Paphos District Court previously heard.
The boy fell nearly 40ft (12.1m) from the fourth floor of the King Evelthon Beach Hotel and Resort on 12 July, the first day of the family's holiday in Chlorakas.
Foster, 37, from Essex, admitted causing death through a reckless, rash or dangerous act and was sentenced on Friday morning.
He held back tears as his sentence was handed down by the judge, before hugging his lawyer and parents.
Foster had lifted his son on to the windowsill to show him the view of a water park, the court in Cyprus was previously told.
