Frankie was present for the unveiling of the carbon fibre resin sculpture by artist Eleanor Cardozo. It includes a plaque stating: ‘This sculpture is dedicated to Francesca Jones, whose youth and talent embodies the Olympic spirit and the promise of a generation.’
The series has previously included a wire mesh sculpture of diver Tom Daley and a work in bronze depicting Paralympic gold medallist Lee Pearson. All will be on show at a gallery in London during the Olympics.
