28 photos as Wakefield gives Amy Garcia, Lindsey Burrow a huge welcome for Children in Need

Wakefield gave Amy Garcia, Lindsey Burrow and the BBC’s famous red sofa a huge Wakey welcome as the Push for Pudsey fundraising challenge reached the district.

Amy and Lindsey took on the mammoth challenge of pushing the iconic BBC Look North red sofa 80 miles over five days to raise money for BBC Children in Need.

Wakefield was chosen to host the final leg of their epic fundraising journey today (Friday) with crowds turning out along the route to cheer the pair on.

The Big Sofa travelled through Gawthorpe, Ossett, Horbury Bridge, Wakefield and Belle Vue before completing its final push.

In Ossett, they stopped off at Ossett Academy where they were greeted with cheering pupils and staff.

The final leg took the fundraising team along Kirkgate, Doncaster Road, Argyle Street and Regent Street before the sofa reached Belle Vue.
