Over £1,000 has been raised for the RNLI after a man walked the coast of the Isle of Wight in memory of his parents.
Alex Fossett completed the 70-mile walk starting and finishing in Yarmouth - the place where his family created 'countless core memories'.
Alex's parents, Ivy and Steve, dreamt of retirement in Yarmouth, but Steve died from cancer in 2021 and Ivy died of the same illness in 2025.
Their ashes are scattered in the Solent, off Yarmouth pier.
In anticipation of the challenge, Alex completed a ten mile walk and a marathon length walk.
He completed the coastal path in six stages and has raised over £1,000 for the RNLI - a charity close to Alex's family's heart.

Alex said: "All throughout my Mum and Dad's life, they dreamed of ending up in Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.
"It was an incredibly special place for them, where they were happiest and they spent many years visiting the Island.
"They passed this love for the Island on to myself and my brother, Steven, who would explore and create countless core memories over the years that we would holiday there.
"The RNLI was a charity that both Mum and Dad strongly believed in - fearless people who answered the call to save lives at sea, putting themselves in the face of terrifying risk to give those in need another tomorrow."
