Man, 70, oldest to row Atlantic unassisted

[Still Waters]

A 70-year-old grandfather from Oldham has become the oldest person to row unassisted across the Atlantic Ocean - raising more than £640,000 for charity.

Frank Rothwell 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.

He said crossing the finish line was a "completely euphoric moment" as he raised £648,000 for Alzheimer's Research UK in tribute to his brother-in-law Roger, who died with the disease aged 62 during his row.
