OLYMPIC cyclist Harry Hill is to meet the Queen at Buckingham Palace for a special celebration where he will be recognised as the country's oldest surviving Olympic medal winner.

Harry, now aged 89, of Higher Ainsworth Road, Radcliffe, earned a bronze medal at the Berlin Olympics in 1936 in the 4000m team pursuit, alongside teammates Ernest Mills, Charles King and Ernest Johnson.

All British Olympic medalists have been invited to Buckingham Palace on March 23 to help celebrate the centenary of the British Olympic Association (BOA), formed on May 24,1905.
