Farah knighthood call ‘welcome’

David Cameron said he would “warmly welcome” a recommendation for Mo Farah to be knighted.

The 30-year-old athlete achieved an unforgettable double-double in Moscow on Friday night as he added two world titles to the twin Olympic triumphs from last summer. The Prime Minister, shown with the athlete in Downing Street last year, said: “The double-double is one of the great sporting achievements.”
