HAMPSHIRE solo sailor Mike Golding will receive a hero's homecoming in Southampton tomorrow.
The Warsash-based sailor returns to Ocean Village with his boat Ecover, in which he came third in the Vendee Globe race earlier this month.
He is due to arrive at noon.
Meanwhile, triumphant scenes are expected in London on Sunday when record-breaking round-the-world yachtswoman Ellen MacArthur sails her trimaran B&Q up the Thames to Greenwich where she will meet fans at about noon.
