Please everybody keep your fingers crossed for Laurent, who today delivered his MCW Metroline bus painting for final judging for the Summer Exhibition. Yes - his painting is now officially in the Royal Academy building!

Laurent has already achieved something incredible by reaching this stage from more than 14,000 applicants. Whatever happens next, reaching this point is an extraordinary achievement and he should be enormously proud of himself.

Laurent is representing Community Focus in the most amazing way, and we are all so proud of him. Accompanying Laurent today was his mum, Chantal.

Good luck Laurent - we’re all behind you! 🎨🚌👏
