Crowds line the streets as Paddy McGuinness passes through Lancaster during his Children in Need cycle challenge

Comedian Paddy McGuinness received a warm reception when he passed through Lancaster yesterday (November 12) during his cycling challenge for Children In Need.

Crowds lined the pavements to greet the TV star during day two of his Radio 2 Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge.

The challenge will see him cycle an immense 300 miles in total from Wrexham AFC to Glasgow on a customised Raleigh Chopper.

Yesterday saw Paddy set off from Preston’s Moor Park on an epic 68 mile journey down Blackpool Promenade, through Lancashire, crossing the River Wyre, passing Lancaster Castle, into Cumbria and finishing in Kendal.

He hopes to cross the finish line in Glasgow on Friday morning, riding the adapted children’s bike which has only three gears.

So far, Paddy has raised more than £300,000 for Children in Need.
