The man behind a poem celebrating Norwich City's title triumph has spoken of the "extraordinary feeling" of hearing Stephen Fry read his work.
Norfolk's first Young Laureate, 21-year-old Joe Webb, wrote the stirring poem released by this newspaper to mark a second league title in three seasons for the Canaries.
The University of Birmingham student, from Norwich, wrote the poem after being approached by Norwich City reporter Connor Southwell, who he went to sixth form with, for the video project.
And he could not believe his luck when it emerged that actor and former City board member Mr Fry would be giving the reading.
