The former paratrooper has raised more than £300,000 for charity since he started fundraising in 2007.
A 91-year-old former paratrooper has completed a 40-mile walking challenge in aid of two armed forces charities.
His latest challenge was in aid of the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal and Support Our Paras charity. "This walk has been challenging given the cold weather, and I'm not getting any younger, but in spite of some physical problems I've managed to keep going," he said.However, he said: "I've been lucky with the weather... and I have met some lovely, encouraging people and had so much support from motorists driving past."
"I am very proud of my time as a paratrooper, and this is just my way of giving something back," he said.The veteran started the challenge shortly before the launch of this year's Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal
