A triple amputee and former Royal Marine commando has completed a 1km (0.62 mile) open water swim across Plymouth Sound, raising more than £400,000.

Mark Ormrod lost both his legs and an arm when he stepped on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2007.

Since then, he’s been taking on gruelling physical challenges to raise money for charity.
