FORMULA One racing driver Jenson Button, was in Swindon helping friends celebrate.

The 25-year-old, who became Britain's youngest Formula One driver in 2002, was in The Spot in Old Town yesterday evening.

Button, who was born in Frome but now lives in Monaco, walked into the pub and went upstairs to the private function.

It is thought the party was being held by Phil Young, of Old Town, who is Button's sports therapist.
