A fitting tribute to Mike Neville, the man who fired the starting gun at the very first Great North Run in 1980.

The voice of the North East honoured at the biggest event in the North East.

Veteran broadcaster worked at ITV Tyne Tees and BBC Look North, gracing television screens across the North East for decades.

He died on Wednesday at the age of 80.
