CRICKETING legend Ian Botham was in Oxford today on one of his annual fundraising walks.

Starting at Marks & Spencer in Queen Street, Oxford, he was joined by former rugby player Simon Halliday and political adviser Alistair Campbell as part of his 200-plus mile journey to raise money for Leukaemia Research and the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The walk is part of a nine-day tour covering two cities a day, alongside stars such as Ronan Keating, Tanny Grey-Thompson, Daley Thompson and Stuart Rhodes.
