Young Robert Herrett has spent a day in Parliament speaking to MPs to raise awareness of diabetes.
The 10-year-old, from Wilcot, was chosen by type one diabetes charity JDRF to attend Type 1 Parliament on Tuesday last week.
The Woodborough School pupil was one of 60 diabetic people, ten of whom were children, to speak to MPs including Home Secretary Theresa May and Devizes MP Claire Perry.
He said: “I just treated it as a normal day because I thought if I got over excited I might not be able to get the MPs to do all that they can.
