A 15-year-old child genius has become the youngest person ever to be awarded a fellowship by the Royal Society of the Arts.
Monty Lord, from Preston, Lancashire, has now had his name etched alongside others including Charles Dickens, Stephen Hawking and David Attenborough.
The child genius has broken numerous world records and gave an official presentation at the United Nations about his 55,000-word research thesis on the effects of bedtime technology on adolescents.
He received a fellowship from the 267-year-old Royal Society of Arts, which is an award given to people that have made outstanding achievements in social progress and development.
