Ben's 'AVENUE OF CHAMPIONS' will be shown in full for the first time this summer in Salisbury Cathedral from June 23rd to Sep 16th. This series of Olympic and Paralympic athletes captures something of the athlete's unique nature which also reflects their commitment and excellence within their sport
