Three bereaved dads, including one from Norfolk, who trekked 600 miles across the UK in memory of their daughters will receive a Pride of Britain Award.

Tim Owen, 52, from Shouldham near King's Lynn, Mike Palmer and Andy Airey completed the huge 3 Dads Walking challenge earlier this month, raising more than £1 million for charity Papyrus - Prevention of Young Suicide.

Mr Owen walked in memory of his 19-year-old daughter Emily who died in 2020 after taking her own life.

James Bond actor Daniel Craig was among the famous people to donate and he called the trio "truly heroic".

Their efforts will be recognised at the Pride of Britain Awards 2022 with the special recognition prize.

The trio also walked 300 miles in 2021, which raised more than £500,000 for the charity and ended in Shouldham.

The Pride of Britain Awards will be broadcast on ITV on October 27 at 8pm and presented by Carol Vorderman and Ashley Banjo.

The Lionesses, including North Walsham's Lauren Hemp, will be honoured with a special gong too.
