Help for Heroes was always Dad's chosen charity, he was extremely passionate and proud of the work that they do to support our heroes in the armed forces. He would love to know that the people close to him are donating and supporting this charity in memory of him.

Two of Dad's proudest achievements were serving in Iraq and being a part of the march past the Cenotaph for Remembrance Sunday in 2013. These are just some of the many reasons why we are so proud of our Dad. He always inspired us to work hard, believe in ourselves and be kind to others. Dad was so well travelled and spoke to anyone and everyone. One of the best things about Dad was his kind heart and willingness to help others.

Dad always worked hard for his family and was loyal to his friends. He passionately followed his beloved Arsenal and loved to adventure off to new places. He certainly lived his life to the full and there are so many happy memories filled with love, life and laughter.

We hope to honour our Dad and the pride that he had for those serving our country in the armed forces by raising and donating funds to support Help for Heroes.

Dad, you are and will always be our hero xxx
