An accountant behind a charity hat has launched a new design to mark the Olympics and Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Barry Whelan, of Wickham Bishops, has raised nearly £12,000 for Help for Heroes from sales of his Fab Cap.
Prince Harry and Zara Phillips were spotted wearing the St George’s Flag version at the England versus France rugby match last year.
He has ordered a preliminary batch of 1,000 new caps, which feature the Union Jack.
Full story in this week's Witham and Braintree Times.
