Massive thanks to Herald Sun cartoonist Mark Knight who made this incredible piece for the day.

Cannot believe this day has actually arrived. It’s been an honour and a privilege, Burnso. Enjoy the sleep ins, you deserve them @3AW693 @RossAndJohn pic.twitter.com/dGbSZiokb1

And he’s doing it all for the final time today..
