BURNLEY fireman and SAS: Are You Tough Enough champion James Barrow impressed the town's mayor with a show of strength.
James, known to friends as Jimmy, was accompanied by his family when he met councillor Lilian Clark in the Mayor's parlour at Burnley Town Hall. He was also joined by Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service's area commander for Pennine Division, Mike Painter and David Jackson, station commander at Burnley Fire Station.
After gruelling challenges in Nambia and Africa, Jimmy was pronounced the winner of the TV competition to select the man SAS soldiers would most want to accompany them on a mission.
Coun Clark said: "Jimmy's family and everyone in our borough are immensely proud of him."
