Eminem, Wayne Rooney and Winston Churchill - Bolton youngsters reveal their heroes

YOUNG people were transformed into their heroes for a special exhibition.
A group of nine children, aged nine to 16, were asked to choose their heroes and explain what they liked about them.
They chose a diverse range of people, from footballers to former Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
The young people chose photographs starring their idols and re-enacted them.
Their final pictures were put on display in the Market Place shopping centre on Thursday and will stay there for two weeks.
It was part of an eight-week project run by Targeted Youth Support, which is part of Bolton Council, to build the self-esteem of vulnerable young people.
Kane Williamson, aged 12, from Breightmet, chose Manchester United and England footballer Wayne Rooney as his hero.
He said: “I like United and Wayne Rooney is a good player and a good dad to his kids.
“I like the picture, it’s really good.”
Also choosing a footballer was 11-year-old Toby Swanton, from Tonge Moor, whose hero is Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard.
His mum, Jean Swanton, said: “The pictures are really good. He is a Liverpool supporter and he has always liked Gerrard. He’s his life-long hero.
“The project has been absolutely brilliant. It’s been fabulous for Toby. He won an award for being the most improved.”
Lewis Miller, from Farnworth, re-enacted a photograph featuring rapper Eminem.
The 14-year-old said: “With everything that Eminem has gone through, he’s got himself back on his feet. He’s done really well.
”The picture looks really good. I wasn’t expecting it to be so realistic.”
History fan Steven Shaw, aged 13, from Farnworth, chose Winston Churchill as his hero.
He said: “He had good tactics and he helped us win the war. If he didn’t love us that much, he would have just let us get bombed and lose the war.”
