Saturday, August 4th 2012 07:00

Anna Watkins honoured

Olympic gold rower Anna Watkins and partner Katherine Grainger's win is being celebrated with a gold medal stamp.

Royal Mail will have them available by lunchtime to honour the pair for their victory in the Women’s Rowing Double Sculls final.

One of Leek's historic red post boxes will also be painted gold.

Staffordshire Moorlands Council leader Sybil Ralphs says a banner congratulating the 29 year old will be up in the town next week, and a civic reception will be held when Anna is available.
