Radio 1 DJ Jordan North rowing challenge: 16 pictures from his emotional arrival in Burnley
Burnley people were out in force to cheer on Radio 1 DJ Jordan North as he completed his epic 100-mile Comic Relief rowing challenge.
The popular radio personality rowed into Finsley Gate Wharf today, and after five long days on the water was met with a huge wave of noise from a large gathering of well-wishers.
He’s now raised more than £600,000 for Comic Relief, and upon crossing the finish line said: “I can’t believe how many people are here! I cannot even put the feeling into words.”
