TV celebrity Paddy McGuinness was greeted by crowds lining the pavements as he arrived in Lancaster on a cycling challenge for Children in Need.

The Take Me Out and Top Gear star came through the city during the second leg of his 300-mile ride on a customised Raleigh Chopper.

Paddy's Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge is taking place all this week as he pedals from Wrexham to Glasgow.

The route will take him through eight counties – Flintshire, Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire, Westmorland, Cumberland, Dumfriesshire and Lanarkshire, aiming to finish on the morning of Friday November 15 at the BBC's Pacific Quay building in Scotland.

Tuesday's leg saw Paddy set off from Preston via Lytham St Annes and Blackpool to Lancaster, then Bolton-le-Sands, Carnforth and Milnthorpe en route to Kendal.
