Inventor Colin Furze presents summer reading challenge certificates at Stamford Library

One hundred and one children completed a reading challenge at Stamford Library.

The national initiative encourages young people to read six books during the summer holidays.

This year's theme was "gadgeteers" so the library team invited Stamford inventor Colin Furze to present the certificates on Saturday afternoon.

Youngsters lined up to receive their awards and meet YouTube sensation Colin, who has more than 11 million subscribers to his channel.

He said: "I like to support local things as much as I can and reading is so important for children."

Four children also received prizes after entering a draw.

Colin's latest project has seen him digging a tunnel between his house, workshop and underground bunker.

He has also taken on a "mega workshop" in the countryside near Stamford to provide a bigger space for working on future projects.
