Walliams the Great - Thames Swim

As most of you probably know (and if not shame on you!) David Walliams has been swimming the river Thames and is aiming to swim the entire 140 miles for charity - Sports Relief.

The support he has received from; his lovely wife Lara, the support team, his trainer, the fans that have gathered at the river banks to cheer him on and his friends - Including Miranda Hart, Rob Brydon, and Michael Parkinson - has been overwhelming.

Fans can track his progress on the LittleBritainFans.com website via the LIVE GPS system, shown below.

The gorgeous married couple - David Walliams & Lara Stone.


When Walliams was swimming through East Molesey & Hampton Court, the family and I went down to the river bank to also show our support. The young children of the family made signs to hold up and it really was a great couple of hours in the sun.


The excitement spread along the riverbank like a lit fuse and people were screaming and shouting to really encourage David. Just a few moments before the support team had tweeted that he was in extreme pain.

Although when I held my sign up saying "I LOVE DAVID". She shouted back "NO I LOVE DAVID" and laughed. So it was all for the fun of the day. #Allforcharity.
