BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin cut the ribbon to mark the relaunch of Chester sports shop Triactive.

She was also on hand to sign copies of her new book, ‘Dare to Tri’, about her journey from journalism to representing Great Britain at the World Triathlon Championships.

Triactive, located on Rufus Court, Northgate Street, specialises in triathlon gear so was a perfect fit for Louise, who lives near Chester.

After the opening on Thursday (September 20), new owner Rich Vincent said on the shop’s Facebook page: “Thank you to all those that turned out on such a wet, windy evening.

“Triactive is now officially relaunched and everyone enjoyed chatting with Louise and getting their books signed.”
