Syston Knitting Banxy's Paralympic medal pouch
It's a month since the Paralympics finished in Paris.
Adopted Leicester lad and Paralympian Dan Powell came home with a silver medal in tow,
But believe it or not, the medal doesn't come with a case or pouch to keep it safe while Dan takes it out to meet fans. So he put out an appeal asking if someone would be willing to knit him one.
With a bit of help from the Syston Knitting Banxy, we managed to help Dan out with his request.
Sophie Cook has been to reveal all to Dan at the Gnr8 Academy in New Parks.
