Duck star!

A NEWPORT duck who's had a little shoe made for him is a hit in the media.

Called, suspiciously conveniently, Lucky, the young quacker broke his leg and was set for the chop until owner Allison Morgan, 44, from the Lliswerry, Newport, asked cobbler Kelvin Reddicliffe make the lad a shoe.

The Sun's leading the way, but expect more puntastic reporting of Lucky's escape to come, and to show we're on top of important Welsh things, we think this is ducking good news too.
