Olympic heroes

8 June 2012

With only weeks to go until the 2012 Games, primary school pupils from 15 schools in Manchester have helped write a unique new book celebrating the achievements of Britain's black Olympic heroes – including former middle-distance runner Diane Modahl, pictured with 11-year-old May Briscoe.

Elaine Boyes, Lord Mayor of Manchester, said: "Hopefully the book will inspire its young readers to believe that they too are capable of great things, and may even help spur on the next generation of Olympic hopefuls."
