A diabetic football fan who could barely walk is back on his feet after having both legs amputated.

Ben Neil, who lives in Nottingham, the Midlands, was left virtually housebound due to complications with type 1 diabetes which he struggled with since his teens.

He was desperate to walk down the aisle at his wedding but doctors told him his legs were too weak.

So he took the drastic decision to have his right leg amputated below the knee and replaced by a prosthetic limb in September 2017.
