CROWDS lined the streets of Colne to welcome the town's Olympic hero - cyclist Steven Burke - back home!
Some 2,000 turned out to greet the 20-year-old former Park High School pupil who raced to a bronze medal in the individual cycling pursuit in Beijing.

He was greeted at Colne Railway Station by Pendle Council's cycling officer Patricia Wilson before being whisked off in an open-top car for a tour of his home town with local cyclists, family and friends behind.
