Amputee dad who is Prince Harry's 'hero' shares pride as daughter dresses up as him for World Book Day

Britain's first triple amputee and Prince Harry's 'real hero' has expressed his pride after his daughter dressed up as him for World Book Day. Former Royal Marine Mark Ormrod, 39, was the UK's first triple amputee to survive the Afghanistan conflict.

Despite being told he would never walk again, he eventually would go on to compete for Britain at the Invictus Games - patronised by his friend Prince Harry. The 'action hero' Taekwondo, Karate and Jiu Jitsu fighter even was awarded an OBE for his charitable work for the Royal Marines Charity.

The dad of three from Plymouth, Devon, has now proudly taken to social media showing off his daughter's costume - of him. Featuring a drawn-on beard, a Royal Marines beret and a set of Judo robes, his daughter Evie proudly held up a copy of her dad's book A Man Down.
