Brave Ellis Jones is due back in the UK today following his Happy Feet operation in the US.

Two-year-old Ellis, who has cerebal palsy, underwent life-changing surgery at St Louis Children's Hospital last month after people of Herefordshire raised the £45,000 needed for the state-of-the-art operation which will allow him to walk unaided for the first time.

Ellis and his mum, Tara, are due to land at Heathrow airport this morning and be back in Hereford for the Easter weekend.
