Man, 70, dedicates solo Atlantic row to brother-in-law

A 70-year-old man has raised more than £700,000 for dementia research after rowing 3,000 miles unassisted across the Atlantic.

Frank Rothwell, from Oldham, set off from the Canary Islands on 12 December in a boat nicknamed Never Too Old and reached Antigua on Saturday.

He said crossing the finish line was a "completely euphoric moment" and rounded off the journey by dancing on board after meeting family and friends.
