Injured British Soldier Continuing To Break Ground In Recovery

Ben Parkinson has been described as 'Britain's most seriously injured soldier' after he survived a bomb blast in Afghanistan. 
 
Since he emerged from a coma in 2006, he has stunned medical staff, friends and family with what he's been able to achieve.

Forces TV reporter Hannah King went to speak to him about the progress he's made.
