Fresh from commentating on the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, broadcaster and national treasure Clare Balding found herself face-to-face with yet another international sporting superstar at the Wigtown Book Festival on Monday.

An ever so slightly hungover Clare was down in the south west to give a talk on her new book ‘Walking Home: My Family and Other Rambles’ based on her popular Radio Four show ‘Ramblings’ of which our President is a big fan.
