Britain's Formula One world champion Jenson Button is to have a footbridge named after him in his home town of Frome, the BBC reported on Friday.

"The bridge is going to be built anyway so we decided it would be a good idea to name it after him," said town mayor Damon Hooton.

Button, who has joined McLaren since he won the championship with Brawn last year, has already had at least one baby named after him - he was introduced to eight-week-old Jenson Lewis Sutton at a motorsport show last week.
