Good Luck to Inverurie's "Golden Girl" Hannah Miley in Rio

As excitement is builds for the start of the 2016 Olympics in Rio we are remembering the day the people of Inverurie got together in the town centre to celebrate the success of our local 2012 Commonwealth Games medal winners Hannah Miley and Vio Etko.  In a fun twist to the tradition of postboxes in the home towns of Olympic medal winner being painted gold, we at Mitchells honoured Hannah's Commonwealth gold medal win in swimming by turning Mooorial, our life size mascot cow, gold.

So from one Inverurie golden girl to another, Mooorial and the rest of the team at Mitchells wish Hannah and all Team GB athletes the very best of luck in Rio.

 Like Hannah, Mooorial has become quite a local celebrity and often has her photo taken by fans.  We love seeing your photos so be sure to share with us using the hashtag #LoveMooorial
