Double bronze medallist in 1920 to be honouredPlaque will be placed in Huntley Street, Bloomsbury
The sprinter Harry Edward, Britain’s first black Olympic medallist, is to be commemorated with a blue plaque on his London home.
Edward won bronze medals in the 100m and 200m at the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp, and was British sprint champion for three years in a row, famously winning the 100, 220 and 440 yards finals inside an hour in 1922.
