Gold!

Helen Glover - 2016 Olympic Gold medal winner - visited her home town today to the delight of the crowds that lined the town and prom to welcome her home! She was very lovely and stopped for photo's and chats with people.

A very modern picture, including the mobile phones .... a social comment as well as a record of a special moment.
