via BBC: 

A 40ft (12m) mural of triple-amputee former Royal Marine Mark 
Ormrod has been unveiled in his home town.  

The artwork on the side of a house in Pounds Park Road in Plymouth 
was revealed on Saturday.  

Money was raised for the work but the artist, Kev Preston, together with 
the paint suppliers and scaffolders said they would not charge and 
donated the money to Mr Ormrod's charity REORG.  

Mr Ormrod said it was "surreal" to see the giant artwork.

The ex-serviceman, from Plymouth, lost both legs and his right arm 
when he stood on an improvised explosive device while on patrol in  
Afghanistan in 2007.
