A care home resident has travelled to France as part of a pilgrimage.
Mark Urwin, 55, from Chesham, travelled from Buckinghamshire to Lourdes in France, a famous Catholic pilgrimage site on the foothills of the Pyrenees.
Living with cerebral palsy and being a wheelchair user has not stopped Mark from doing the annual holy journey, which he has usually embarked on solo.
Previously, Mark has travelled in collaboration with Across, a charity helping disabled people to experience pilgrimage.

This year Mark, who lives at Birchwood residential care home, took the journey in a specially adapted Jumbulance coach, designed to accommodate wheelchair users so they don’t need to transfer off their chairs during the journey.
He was accompanied by a staff member from Birchwood after inspiring those around him.
