viewForHeaderInSection is placing header above the tableView

Question

I overrided the method viewForHeaderInSection and I realized by default it adds it on top of the UItableView, I would like to send it to the back of the tableView. Any Idea?

Here is my code:

-(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section{
    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:districtImage];
    imageView.frame = CGRectMake(10,10,300,100);
    NSLog(@"districtImage=%@",districtImage);
    return imageView;
}

EDIT

Ok I got it to scroll up now:

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = imageView;

my problem now is the header is to big how can I reduce it

-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section{}

does not seem to take effect.

Just use

-(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section

with the same body that should work
