John Rampling has been awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) for services to the communities of Aylmerton and Holt.

A dedicated member of Holt Rotary Club, Mr Rampling is well-known for his community work.

He made headlines last year when, at the age of 84, he joined two fellow retirees - Rod Hunt, 85, and Henry Kilvert, 70 - for a two-day charity kayaking challenge along the River Wensum.
