Two former Olympic gold medallists have been presented with the freedom of Wells.

Mary Rand became the first British female athlete to win a track and field Olympics gold medal, in the long jump at the Tokyo Games of 1964.

Danny Nightingale also received the award on Sunday afternoon. He won a team gold in the modern pentathlon at the 1976 games in Montreal.

The ceremony took place at Wells Town Hall at 14:00 BST.

Following the ceremony the Wells City Band and the Town Crier led a march to St Cuthbert's Church for a service of celebration.

Ms Rand visited her former school in Wells on Friday.

She met pupils at Stoberry Park Junior School to show her medals and later judged a long jump competition.
