A Norfolk-based athlete is set to represent Britain on the global stage.

After a season of outstanding performances, Cromer's Henry Jonas, 19, has qualified to participate in the World Junior Track and Field Championships in Lima, Peru.

But it was his winning performance at the England Athletics National Championship in Birmingham that finally bagged him a seat on the plane to Peru.
