An open-top bus tour will take place for the Bristol teenager who grabbed four gold medals at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

They include David Luckman, who earned a gold in the shooting, Jazmin Sawyers, who sprang to silver in the long jump, Gary Hall, who pinned down a bronze in judo, and Paul Brown, who squeezed a bronze in the para-lawn bowls.
