The parents of a man shot in Afghanistan didn't know if he was still alive after receiving a "dreaded knock at the door."
Tony Williams, from Knowsley, was working as an army nurse when he was shot during a firefight with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The 38-year-old was left fighting for his life and told he would never walk again. But he is now determined to walk further than he has in 12 years by hiking 12 miles in memory of his late dad Stephen Williams.
