Timmy Mallett’s late brother ‘in his heart’ during cycle journey

Television presenter Timmy Mallett has said his late brother Martin was “in his heart” every day of his cycle journey across the UK and Ireland.

Mallett has been completing the final leg, taking in Northern Ireland and Donegal.

The 68-year-old is raising funds in memory of Martin, who had Down’s Syndrome.

Mallett told BBC News NI’s Good Morning Ulster programme: “My dear, darling brother Martin, with his language and learning difficulties, has been in my mind and in my heart every single day of this journey.

“Remembering to live in the moment, to engage with people and to stop to listen and to say ‘you and me, I’m happy'”.

Mallett set off from Paddington Station in London last year, making his way around the coast of Britain.

He has spent the last months and 2,000kms cycling across Northern Ireland and Donegal.

His pilgrimage ends on Tuesday.
