Hundreds of people joined a broadcasting legend Jeff Stelling on his pilgrimage from Wembley to Wycombe last Sunday.
The 26.2-mile walk was in aid of Prostate Cancer UK with the ex-Soccer Saturday frontman helping to raise more than £200,000 for the cause.
This was in memory of the former television and radio presenter, Bill Turnbull, who passed away from the illness in August 2022.
🚶♂️ Today's the day.

Jeff said: “What a welcome! 34 marathons, and that was the best one of them all.
“I’m delighted to have completed this challenge for Prostate Cancer UK in honour of the great Bill Turnbull - and all those who have seen their lives affected by this dreadful disease.
"Bill was at the heart of so many conversations today; so many happy memories stirred up of a great man and a master of his craft.
“Sadly he was diagnosed too late, but I know raising awareness of the risk of this disease was such a big thing for him.
