WHEN it comes to standards, Evesham's Emma Kearsey could teach most of us a thing or two.

She has just picked up an award as top Royal British Legion Women's Section standard bearer for the 15th time!

And she has no intention of standing aside just yet - the national title is firmly in her sights.

"For the last three years I have finished third," she said. "I want that title, so I intend to keep on trying.

Emma, who works as an area manager for a firm of insurance brokers, is standard bearer for the Sedgeberrow branch of Worcestershire County.

Having retained her title, she will now compete in the national competition in Blackpool in April.

She will also play a major role in July at a Service of Thanksgiving and Re-dedication in York Minster.
