Burnham’s Olympic BMX rider Liam Phillips and Paralympic swimmer Anthony Stephens said they were “greatly honoured” to be near the front of Monday’s carnival procession.
Burnham Rotary Club created a special float for the pair to be paraded through the town, and they received loud cheers all along the route.
Liam told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “It was a proud moment to be involved in the carnival procession and wonderful to get such a warm reception.”
Anthony added: “It was a great honour. While I now live in Wales, I still consider Burnham to be home. The town is very special for me.”
