DIY SOS fulfils hero dad's heartbreaking dream for his family after he lost his leg

Hero veteran Simon Flores lost his leg while serving in country in Iraq 13 years ago. The brave dad was on his second tour of the war-stricken country in 2006 when the patrol vehicle he was travelling in was hit by an IED and his foot was blown off.

Simon explained: "The blast welded the doors shut so we couldn’t get out, and my driver was losing consciousness. I was trying to keep him awake and I couldn’t see what his injuries were. “I didn’t want him losing consciousness.

I was trying to stop my own bleeding but I couldn’t get the tourniquet on because of the bits of flesh that were hanging out.” It took a rescue team 30 minutes to reach Simon and his driver, who had to prise the door open and get them to a field hospital.
