Swindon, the Wiltshire town famous for it’s old rail works and Honda car factory is to be the first twin town of the Florida-based Walt Disney World.
It has been chosen thanks to the efforts of Rebecca Warren, 20, who lives in Swindon. She produced a winning video slideshow extolling the virtues of the town, and will fly to Florida to unveil a “Walt Disney World Twinned with Swindon” plaque.
Miss Warren said: “I still cannot believe my entry has been selected. What a great opportunity for Swindon.”
The town beat off competition from Blackpool, Brighton (I’m staying in Hove at the moment, which is nearby) and Cambridge (as they say: it is a delight to visit).
