Hari Budha Magar is the first double amputee to have reached the 8,848m high summit of Mount Everest, having lost both his legs serving in Afghanistan 13 years prior.

The former Gurkha soldier veteran who lives in Kent said he'd like to "change the perception" of people with disabilities by having made this historical climb.
