A former soldier who became the first person to swim from England to the Isle of Man is to have his achievement honoured with a special award.
Adam Diver of Fleetwood completed the epic 32-mile challenge last month, raising £10,000 for an armed forces charity.
Now, he's to be given a Lord Lieutenant's Award to recognize his work.
The award will be presented at Lancaster Town Hall by Lancashire's Lord Lieutenant Amanda Parker.
