Clarkson thanks fans as BBC tries to locate witnesses to row

Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson has thanked the hundreds of thousands of fans who have backed him after his suspension from the show.

More than 800,000 people signed a petition demanding he keep his job after he was suspended following the fracas with producer Oisin Tymon which was sparked when Clarkson was told he could not have a £21.95 hot steak.
