An adventurer who walked 31,000 miles around the world has arrived home after 28 years away.

Karl Bushby, who departed for his worldwide odyssey on Oct 5, 1998 with just $500 (£372) in his pocket, ended his epic journey in Hull on Monday morning.

Throughout the "Goliath expedition" the 57-year-old has adhered to two rules: no use of transport and no going home unless he arrives on foot.

He made his penultimate stop at Queen Victoria Square in Hull city centre where he delivered a press conference before returning to his mother's home.
