Grandad breaks arm running at school sports day

A grandad who ran the father's race for his granddaughter’s sports day fractured his arm after he tripped at the finish line - but says it was all in "good spirit". James Kewley, 46, had promised to run in the race after his five-year-old granddaughter, Ella, begged him to take part.

Little Ella won all her races, as did her mum, Georgia Kewley, 25, and James was hoping to do the same when it was his turn. James was running well until he tripped on a bump in the grass, falling on his face and crushing his left arm underneath him.

The owner of a construction company said he went straight back to work despite his arm being “twice the size”. He visited the hospital who told him the injury looks like a fracture.
