Pour the sugar into a heavy-based pan with the water. Place over a very gentle heat and allow the sugar to dissolve, without boiling.

Strain the watermelon juice through a sieve into a large jug then pour into ice lolly moulds. Place the mango into a food processor with 100ml/4fl oz of the sugar syrup and process for 2 minutes or until smooth. Add the juice of two limes to each of the lolly mixtures, and stir to combine. Transfer the mango mixture into a jug and pour into ice lolly moulds. Place in the freezer for 4-6 hours or until the lollies are completely frozen.
