Young skaters Curtis Bushell and sister Sophia take to the ice
A BROTHER and sister ice-skating duo from Barnet starred in the launch of the London Eye’s first ever ice rink.
Curtis Bushell aged seven and his sister Sophia aged six opened the show at the London Eye ice-skating rink.
British senior ice-skating champions also took part in the open air event. Curtis and Sophia go to school in Barnet and practice skating at Lee Valley ice centre in Leyton with their coach Michelle Langley.
Curtis was also the youngest person in Britain to pass his grade one piano exam when he was just four years old and he is currently studying for his grade eight.
The siblings were also invited to open an ice rink in Salisbury on Thursday, December 2.
