As the nation paused to remember the fallen on Remembrance Sunday, in Blackpool, a very personal act of commemoration was taking place.
 
Sergeant Rick Clement, a veteran who suffered life changing injuries in Afghanistan, publicly walked for the first time unaided to lay a wreath at his local war memorial.
 
The double amputee spent months training on new prosthetic legs in order to make his poignant tribute to those who lost their lives in battle.
