What an ending to an incredible challenge.

Jill Scott received a hero's welcome from the crowd here in Sunderland. Greeted by her family and friends she has completed 388 miles of running and cycling from Wembley to the Stadium of Light.

Welcome home Jill, everyone is incredibly proud.

Jill's challenge has raised an impressive £470,677 so far.

“All the money that is raised for Sport Relief because of your donations - that’s what it’s for… to give kids a safe space,” she said.

“It’s incredible to think I’ve done a challenge and people have spent their hard-earned money to donate.”

At least half of the funds from the challenge will support local Sport for Change projects - using sport to create safe, inclusive spaces - while the rest will fund Comic Relief’s wider work.

You can find out more and show your support on the Sport Relief website.

Speaking after crossing the finishing line, Jill said it had been “community and support” which had got her through the five days.

“My legs are numb, all my blisters have popped on the feet, my ribs are even hurting… I’m in a lot of pain,” she said.

But she said the money raised was her attempt to give back to the next generation.

“Sunderland is home,” she said. “This is community, family, friends – it means the world.”

Asked what she would do next, she said: “I think I’ll have a beer – catch up with family and friends. I’ll probably be walking around Sunderland for a couple of days.”

High-fiving the crowds as she stood by her very own mural, Jill says she "looks fresher" on the wall than she does now.

"I'm knackered. My legs are numb. I've got blisters that I think have popped. But you know what, I'm just so thankful for all the support, that has really got us through the last bit," she says.

"Every single high-five, I'm just so grateful," Jill adds, before she ran off on her very last stretch.

Hundreds of people have arrived at the Stadium of Light waiting for Jill.

You just know it’s going to erupt as she makes it across the finish line - won't be long now.

Not only will Jill run 28 miles today, she will have done so while stopping for countless selfies and high fives.

What a crowd pleaser!

As she gets nearer to the finish line, Jill sees a newly-designed mural of her. "That's amazing," she says as she first sees it.

"This is incredible," she says. "The detail is amazing - I don't think my teeth are that white but I'll take it."

Jill's mum Doreen says the support from the North East has just been "fantastic".

"The Euros were lovely but this is just another level for me," she said.

Doreen says she's relieved knowing Jill is on her last lap. "She hasn't really been training for it," she said. "She's just got on it with really."

Asked what she may drink to celebrate, her mum said "red wine".

"I think she deserves it," she said.

Kieron Thompson, from Southwick Neighbourhood Youth Project, said Jill visited them a few weeks ago and that she helped and joined in playing football with them.

“With her being local, she knows most of the young people’s families," he said, adding that it was a proud day.

Janice, Christina, and dog Arthur have been following her progress since Houghton.

“She’s just amazing, we cheered and told her to get a pint in [the] Blue Bell," they said. Apparently she responded and said she was going to have two.

A group from ACE performers dance school is also cheering her on as well as hoards who are waiting by the finish line.

It’s starting to fill up in Sunderland's Keel Square with Jill just a couple of miles away and running along Durham Road.

Some people have been here for about an hour, putting up with heavy wind and the odd bit of sun - nothing, of course, compared with what Jill has had to endure so far.

The end of the challenge attempt is now in sight and the football legend is soaking up the atmosphere as she runs through the North East.

She's been seen high-fiving crowds, chatting to schoolchildren and posing with Spennymoor Town FC.

The fact Jill only finished yesterday's leg shortly before midnight was “absolutely crazy”, said Jill’s sister Amanda Wilson.

“I mean this morning she’s bright as anything,” she said.

“There’s been so times in my life when I’ve been proud of her for so many different reasons and this has got to be up there with the most proud.”

“I just can’t believe what’s she done,” she said. “Superhuman.”

Jill is making great progress and is only a little bit behind schedule.

She has just passed Thorney Close, a suburb of her hometown Sunderland.
