School boy carried friend to the finish line in a school race competition.

Two schoolboys showed great sportsmanship when one carried the other across the finishing line.

Riley Watson, 10, was 60ft from the end of a cross-country race when he collapsed with a stitch. But classmate Julian Otu, also 10, came to his rescue - carrying him in his arms.

The gesture came during an inter-school race in Grimsby and was captured by local newspaper photographer Jon Corken.

The youngster, a pupil at Allerton Primary School in Immingham, said: "I'd rather not have won and helped my friend than leave him there."
This kind act by this young one tell me there's still hope for humanity. Such an example.
