LEGENDARY children's TV presenter Johnny Ball was the guest of honour at the opening of a new school science lab in Tonbridge.

The creator of Think Of A Number visited Long Mead Community Primary School on Thursday to admire the £15,000 facility and assist with strange experiments such as calculating the average crawling speed of a maggot.

She said: "He delivered a fantastic show for the students and was clearly very passionate about science. He was very impressed by the new facility."
