Badminton veteran Nathan Robertson has been chosen to carry the flag for England in Sunday's Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in Delhi.
Robertson partnered the now-retired Gail Emms to gold in the mixed doubles in Melbourne four years ago.
Robertson, who also won Olympic silver with Emms in Athens in 2004, is competing at his fourth Games in Delhi.
Flying the flag: Robertson has been handed the honour of leading out the England team
Robertson said: 'I'm humbled. It's a huge honour and I'm looking forward to leading England into the stadium on Sunday.'
Robertson will partner Jenny Wallwork in the mixed doubles in Delhi.
The pair won a bronze at the European Championships in Manchester in April, their first podium finish.
Robertson will also renew his partnership with Anthony Clark in the mixed doubles. They won silver at the 2004 European Championships and won England's first BWF Super Series title in 2009.
