Crowds gathered to cheer on the Radio 1 DJ who is in the saddle for a mammoth 1000km cycle challenge, covering the length of the country, from Weymouth to Edinburgh in aid of Comic Relief.
He capped off day six in Sunderland last night, March 18, where he was welcomed with pink slices, Greggs sausage rolls and a wave of support.
The Radio 1 mobile broadcast unit is in Keel Square, with the Breakfast Show broadcasting live from the city with Jamie Laing this morning, before Greg sets off on day seven.

1. Pink slice and the perfect banner
Thanks to Claire Porter for this great shot of Greg enjoying a post-cycle pink slice and holding her fitting banner for his Longest Ride challenge. The Long Boi duck was regularly featured on Greg's breakfast show after gaining fame among students at the University of York. Greg loved the banner and kept it! | Claire Porter
2. On track
So far, Greg has raised more than a £1.6 million for Comic Relief - and he's hoping to hit the £2million mark. You can donate via the Comic Relief website. | North News
