The Essex schoolboy who grabbed a hug with gold winning tennis player Andy Murray described the moment as 'cool'.

Henry Caplan, 11, of Blackmore, was photographed hugging the tennis star just moments after Murray defeated Roger Federer in the Olympic tennis final at Wimbledon.

The youngster slipped away from his dad, dodged by Federe's stunned relatives to grab a hug with the British Olympic Champion.

Henry told BBC Essex:

Asked what Murray said to him, Henry said: "Anything for my fans."

Henry was at the final with father Elliot, 41, and brothers Alex, nine, and Jeremy, 19.
