    An army veteran is planning to cycle more than 300 miles (483km) on a penny farthing to raise money for charity.

    Dean Williams, from Hinckley, Leicestershire, is doing the double coast-to-coast ride along the border of England and Scotland in June.

    Mr Williams was due to ride the bicycle in the 350-mile (563km) Battlefield Bike Ride in France and Belgium but it was postponed due to coronavirus.

    He said the unusual bike is "very comfortable" to ride.

    "It's just brilliant putting smiles on people's faces."

    Mr Williams' charity fundraiser will see him joined by four other veterans on normal bicycles and recumbent bicycles.
