SKEET: Amber Rutter’s joy at becoming Britain’s first female Olympic shooting medallist was topped off by a surprise appearance by her husband and three-month old son.

Ms Rutter, 26, claimed silver in a sudden-death shoot-off after a gripping women’s skeet final in the scorching heat of Chateauroux.

Instead of watching her on TV at home, Ms Rutter’s husband James and baby Tommy made the surprise trip to France.
