Olympic torch honour for Norfolk lollipop lady

Help

Ena Mallett, 78, from Ranworth, is set to swap her school crossing lollipop for the Olympic torch when the relay comes to Norfolk.

Mrs Mallett received an email from the 2012 games organisers on Thursday confirming she had been selected.

The grandmother and widowed mother-of-two has been helping children cross the road at Fairhaven Primary in South Walsham for almost 27 years.
