I AM really proud of the number of people who turned out to line the streets of Barry to celebrate Lee Selby's world title.
The support and chants of Lee, Lee, Lee was really pleasing to the ear and shows just how inspirational he has become in our town.
His family must be extremely proud of Lee on winning his IBF world title. This certainly is a good news story for Barry...a Barry boy who has done good.
This is a tremendous honour for Lee and a real honour that he hails from Barry. Furthermore, it is also something else that will put our town on the map.
I hope this will now raise the profile of the town. We have had Gavin & Stacey and now we have World champion Lee Selby.
Good luck to Lee for the future and thank you to all who turned out for him.
