A former soldier living on a cliff edge was finally forced to walk away from his home today as the encroaching sea sent waves crashing precariously close to the property.
Retired Grenadier Guardsman Lance Martin, who in 2018 moved his £95,000 detached house back 10.5 metres from the cliff edge to stop it from toppling into the sea, had previously vowed to stay "come what may" in his scenic £95,000 Norfolk retirement property.
However today's dramatic developments illustrated the rapid pace of coastal erosion and forced his hand.
