OLYMPIC gold medal rower Heather Stanning officially opened Whitbourne’s new village store on the weekend.

Hundreds turned out to welcome the MBE-winning star athlete to the shop that is run and staffed entirely by volunteers.

The Big Lottery’s Local Food programme put forward £250,000 to help the project.
