Lucky winner
James Bielby has become the most popular man in Leeds by winning the
trip of a lifetime for himself and three friends to watch England in
Euro 2004 - in a stretch limo!
James Bielby will travel in style to Portugal to watch
England v Switzerland in Coimbra thanks to BBC Radio Five Live.
The 26-year-old chartered surveyor has picked his friends
Adam Binns, Nick Humphries-Roberts and John McNeill, all from West Yorkshire,
to accompany him on the trip.
James got the prize by winning a live penalty shoot
out on Five Live Breakfast today.
Breakfast presenters Nicky Campbell and Shelagh Fogarty
will wave off the limo winners live on air on Tuesday 15 June when they
leave from Television Centre in London to start their trip to Portugal.
The itinerary for their trip is:
The four friends will be waved off by Nicky Campbell and Shelagh Fogarty
from Television centre on June 15 in a stretch limo;
They fly to Faro in Portugal from Luton airport;
Spend three nights in a top hotel at the Foz do Arelho resort soaking
up the sun and watching football – no-one said it was going to
be easy...;
Slip back into the reassuringly comfortable seats in
their limo before being taken all the way to the match staring through
the tinted windows at the adoring crowds;
Take their seats at the Cidade de Coimbra Stadium to watch England v
Switzerland on 17 June;
Jet back home and be taken back to the winner's front door – all
by stretch by limo.
