AN EXCITED Ruislip youngster celebrated her dream birthday by meeting her Olympic hero Rebecca Adlington on Sunday.

Rebecca Creighton, who will be 12 years-old tomorrow (Thursday), was watching the record breaking Gold medal team arrive back in Britain at home in Ruislip when her family decided to head down to Heathrow and meet them.

They rushed down to the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Heathrow, where the team were hosting their press conference and were able to mingle with the winners.

As well as meeting double gold medallist Adlington, Rebecca also had her photo taken with rower Pete Reed, who put the gold medal he won in the men's coxless four around her neck.

Rebecca, who is a sports enthusiast, now wants to volunteer at 2012, and has been inspired by meeting Rebecca Adlington to take up swimming once more.

Bernie Creighton, her mother, said: "It only took us 15 minutes to get down there, and suddenly we were mingling with them all, and they were all absolutely lovely, Rebecca cannot wait for 2012 now."
