WATCH: Windsor walks with Sir Ian Botham
4:53pm Mon 13th Oct 08:: written by Gareth McPherson
Cricket legend Sir Ian Botham marched his way through Windsor alongside television personalities on Saturday in a charity walk.
The former England all-rounder, who is raising money for Leukaemia Research, strode through the town centre before leading hundreds of walkers around the Great Park to end up back at Windsor Castle.
Joining him was TV presenter Gabby Logan and rugby player husband Kenny along with ITV newsreader Mark Austin.
Sir Ian has been a fervent campaigner in the battle against childhood leukaemia for many years and in 1985 walked 900 miles from John O'Groats to Land's End.
As he geared up for the walk he said that his troupe would start off by walking through the town for about eight miles.
The Windsor walk was the second leg of a nine town tour held over nine days.
