It's been six months since Wynn Tutt got the surprise of her life at the last EDP Stars of Norfolk and Waveney Awards.

And the 84-year-old, from Brundall, who won a Community Champion award, is still doing what she does best – picking up litter.

Mrs Tutt won the award for her devotion to keeping her neighbourhood clean and tidy.

And it wasn't just praise that she was given at the awards ceremony – the event's organisers arranged for her grandson, Chris Tutt, to fly over from Norway to surprise her when she accepted the award.

Mrs Tutt said: It was absolutely lovely, seeing him. He gave me a big bunch of flowers. It was a lovely experience.'

Chris, 28, works as a chef in Oslo.

Every day, Wynn Tutt can be seen around Brundall picking up litter, and she has no plans to stop.

Mrs Tutt said: 'It's an obsession but I think it's a good one because people in other villages have started to pick up rubbish as well. The tidier we keep this planet the better and I think we should be doing more to look after nature.'

Mrs Tutt and her husband, Bill, are celebrating their 60th anniversary this year. They are both keen fundraisers for charity.

She said: 'We do things all year round to help people. That's how our weeks and days go by.'
