THE Albert Halls Bolton will be staging "An Evening with Simon Weston", the Welsh Guardsman who was badly injured during the Falklands War.

Simon sustained 46 per cent burns when the RFA Sir Galahad was destroyed in the Bluff Cove Air Attack.

He has become well-known across the United Kingdom and abroad for his struggle to overcome his injuries and redefine his role in life, and his message is one of achievement, of triumph and of seizing the moment and succeeding.

Along with Simon’s work with a number of charities he is also a professional motivational speaker with over 25 years’ experience. Simon not only talks about overcoming adversity and positive mental attitude but also his experiences of being in the public eye over the last 30 years.

He will be in Bolton on Sunday, October 6. For tickets ring 01204 334400
