OLYMPIC gold medallist Nicola Adams visited Glasgow school pupils to unveil an inspirational wall of dreams.

The 30-year-old boxer, who became the first Olympic female boxing gold medallist when she won at London 2012, visited Swinton Primary, Baillieston, to help the children unveil their Best You Can Be Thought Wall.

This shows their hopes and dreams about what they, and children across the Commonwealth, need to be the best they can be.

Her visit marked the launch of a partnership between the Commonwealth Games organisers and children's charity Unicef which aims to inspire and enable children to achieve.

The young pupils sang and read poetry and pledges to Nicola about their hopes for a better future for children.

The boxer said: "I am delighted to support this partnership and be part of the event.

"It was great to meet the children and hear about their aspirations and what they need to be the best they can be.

"This fantastic collaboration will reach out to every child in Scotland and much further afield.

"It was great to be able to tell the children my story and how I fulfilled my own potential.

"I hope there will be some inspirational messages they can take from that, but I know I have been inspired by the young people I have met here."

David Grevemberg, chief executive of Glasgow 2014, David Bull, Unicef UK executive director, and Bruce Robertson, of the Commonwealth Games Federation, added their opinions to the wall.

The partnership aims to raise funds for Unicef's work in Commonwealth countries.
