Inside hero war veteran’s daring Everest climb after losing both legs… as he reveals unique plan to celebrate Coronation

Each step he takes will follow the path of legends Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary’s historic ascent which took place exactly 70 years ago during Queen Elizabeth's Coronation.Credit: Andy Bate /BlesmaIt’s an extraordinary coincidence as he’d originally intended to climb in 2018 but was banned by Nepalese authorities and he had to go to court to win the right to overturn it.
“I'm going to call my wife and tell her: 'We did it'. I will be carrying some small prayer flags in my pocket and I'll put them on the summit.“I'll be using the golf club of a friend Ben Simpson of the On Course Foundation who was very close to me and he passed away from cancer a year ago.
