Granddad changed EU vote for grandson
73-year-old Peter Downey voted on behalf of his 17-year-old grandson, Freddie Wells.
As Freddie is too young to have a say in the EU referendum, Peter was keen to give him a voice.
Freddie said: "He came up to me and offered me the chance to persuade him and offer him my opinion on the decision that will be one of the biggest that I will ever have to make."
They filled out a postal vote together and voted to remain in the EU.
