8:40am Saturday 4th February 2012
FIREFIGHTING hero John Haskell will arrive back in Barry this weekend, after his epic Atlantic rowing challenge.
John and his family will return to Wales on Sunday, with a Homecoming Celebration at Barry Island from midday onwards on Monday (February 6). All are welcome.
And there was a surprise for John and his rowing partner Jamie Windsor as they relaxed in Barbados following their efforts – when they bumped into Sir Cliff Richard!
The charity fundraisers and their families were greeted by island resident and legendary music star Sir Cliff Richard, who offered his 'congratulations' following their fourth-place effort in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
The duo are raising money for the Firefighters charity, Help For Heroes, Breast Cancer Care and the WRVS.
