TT star Guy Martin has been presented with a commemorative glass paperweight to recognise his services to the industrial heritage of the British Isles.
Adrian Beacham and his daughter Lucy made the presentation on behalf of the Isle of Man Steam Railway Supporters’ Association and the Severn Valley Railway at Bridgenorth in Shropshire.
The presentation was made during TT week in the paddock area at the back of the Grandstand.
In 2011, Guy helped with the restoration of a Severn Valley steam locomotive as part of a Channel 4 series ‘How Britain Worked’.
At the presentation, Adrian and Lucy gave the TT rider a crystal glass cube engraved with a steam engine bearing the Three Legs and also a bone china mug depicting Guy’s Labrador dog Nigel.
Adrian said: ‘This was in recognition of all the work Guy Martin has done over the past few years preserving our industrial way of life both old and new.’
