A British man has entered the realms of 'judo royalty'.
Only a handful of people - usually Japanese - are ever given the status of 10th Dan in judo, but the honour has been bestowed on the President of the British Judo Association, George Kerr.
It signs him up to one of the sporting world's most exclusive clubs and he now joins the ranks of the Japanese masters who brought judo to the world.
