THE 11-year-old Lancaster schoolgirl who officially opened the new Millennium Bridge is set to meet Olympic gold medallist Jason Queally.

Jason was due to present Louise with a new bicycle when he officially launched Lancaster's new bridge but following an injury he was unable to attend the event.

But on Friday, Louise will finally meet up with her hero when Jason pays a visit to his old school, Caton Community Primary.

Louise secured the date with Jason when she won a safer routes to school competition run through the Lancaster Accident Prevention Partnership which promotes safer routes to schools within the Lancaster City Council area.
