Blackpool ex-soldier finishes Help for Heroes 8,000 mile trek

A former soldier has finished an 8,000 mile charity trek along Britain's coastline, where he slept rough every night of the 19-month long journey.

Christian Nock, 39, from Blackpool in Lancashire, was welcomed back to the seaside town, having raised more than £170,000 for Help for Heroes.

The ex-Staffordshire Regiment soldier was homeless after he left the army."
