"I went home and used some of the Union Jack bits from the VE day topper I created and then tried to create a Pommel Horse - which wasn't that easy!
"I did it to celebrate his achievements and celebrate what he has done, he is a local hero and I know many people from Hemel Hempstead are proud of what he has achieved!
"I really enjoyed watching the Olympics and it was great to help celebrate that with this topper."
The topper is outside The Adeyfield Academy and will be out on display for two weeks.
