Total respect to these lads.

And to all the Wounded lads.

I am as always in awe of guys who show me how to live life and get on and stop whining about my perfect life.

I know Guy from my university days. Great to see him ignoring the fact that his leg was melted off. bow

That looks a bit hard. Never mind carrying around a "spare" arm.

I only saw bits and bobs of the show, it was excellent. Actually affirmed my view of Harry too.

Watched it last night and it was inspirational.

Those lads deserve far more support than they currently get from HM Government IMHO. It's a shame kids today look up to people like Rooney, instead of looking up to real heroes like these guys.

Exactly. Nothing on telly has ever moved me to tears (crying is only for the women in our house), but that did.

Those boys certainly put a lot of things into perspective.

Fair play to them. Brilliant.

I did love the way the chap that hurt his back said "then I noticed that X was standing there and shut up", when X was the fellow who had broken his back and was in severe pain all the time....

Just an amazing set of blokes, they make me proud to be British.

They were totally amazing & they managed to finish their trek 2 days ahead of schedule smile

I was disappointed for Harry, he didn't get to do all of it frown
