A British Gurkha soldier veteran who lost both legs in Afghanistan has achieved mountaineering history after reaching the top of Mount Everest.

Hari Budha Magar, who lives in Canterbury, Kent, reached the summit of the world’s tallest mountain this past Friday, having started the climb on 17 April – exactly 13 years since he lost his legs after an IED explosion.

With this achievement, he became the first double above-the-knee amputee to summit the world’s tallest mountain.

He is no stranger to making history, having been the first double above-knee amputee to climb several mountains including Mera Peak and Chulu Far East.

British Army’s top spy in IRA 'cost more lives than saved’

More lives were probably lost than saved through the British Army’s operation of its top agent inside the IRA’s internal security unit during the Troubles, a major independent investigation has found. Operation Kenova examined the role of Stakeknife, widely believed to be west Belfast man Freddie Scappaticci, who was embedded in the IRA’s so-called “nutting squad”, responsible for interrogating, torturing and murdering people suspected of passing information to security forces during the conflict.
