THE Paralympic Games get under way on Wednesday and four athletes from our region will be hoping to bring medals back to Somerset.
Equestrian rider Deborah Criddle, from Taunton, blind footballer Robin Williams, from North Petherton, wheelchair tennis star Lucy Shuker, who trains in Taunton, and swimmer Anthony Stephens, from Highbridge, are all competing.
For more details on their inspirational stories, see today's Somerset County Gazette.
