In an emotional interview with Sky News, Frank Rothwell describes his row across the Atlantic after becoming the oldest person to do so without assistance.

The grandfather began his 3,000-mile challenge at Canary Island La Gomera on 12 December and crossed the finish line in Antigua in the Caribbean on 6 February – reuniting with Judith, his wife of 50 years.

Rothwell has raised £648,000 for Alzheimer’s Research UK in tribute to his brother-in-law who died with the disease during his row.
