“This is another incredible achievement by Jonathan and my warmest congratulations go to him and his team. He has once again shown the world that there is nobody who can get close to him,” Mr Girvan said.

He added: “The people of his hometown of Ballyclare and right across Northern Ireland will be celebrating with him today on securing his third successive world title.
