Lara honoured

Brian Lara was awarded Trinidad and Tobago's highest honour - the Trinity Cross - by the country's president, Noor Hassanali, in Port of Spain on Saturday.

Yesterday, the record-breaking batsman, whose latest gift from a grateful nation was a new pounds 23,000 car from a Trinidad company, paid a flying visit to Tobago for another reception. Lara, meanwhile, leaves for England today to join up with Warwickshire.
