As well as being a keen archer, Keith Gascoigne has been making bows for 55 years.

His craftsmanship might not have benefited the famous local figure, but he has made three bows that have been used, and won medals, in the Paralympic Games.

Prince Charles was also presented with one of his bows when he visited a school in the county.
