Two marines who lost limbs in landmine blasts in Afghanistan were honoured for their service yesterday.
Pride: Mark Ormrod and Ben McBean show off their service medals
Ben McBean and Mark Ormrod were reunited with their unit as more than 2,000 relatives looked on.
‘Today is really important to get us back together again and share our stories of success. However, there is a price to pay,’ said Vice Adml Adrian Johns.
Marine McBean, 21, who lost an arm and a leg earlier this year, was called a hero by Prince Harry last month.
And Marine Ormrod lost both legs and an arm after he stepped on a mine on Christmas Eve.
The 24-year-old now walks unaided after getting two bionic legs. The two men, from Plymouth, paraded at Norton Manor Camp in Taunton, Somerset.
