War veterans get a singing send-off from school children as they continue the walk of Britain

The children from Heddon-on-the-Wall St Andrews C of E First School gave six wounded soldiers a fantastic send-off this morning, along with the staff at Dingle Dell tearooms and many of the villagers of Heddon-on-the Wall.

The Walk of Britain expedition involves four British and two US wounded veterans - together they're walking 1,000 miles across mainland Britain. They started in Scotland on August 22nd and will finish at Buckingham Palace on November 1st.

Today the WWTW team is taking on a Northumberland stage, from Heddon-on-the-Wall to Hexham.
