Paratrooper Ben Parkinson, who suffered horrific injuries while serving as a soldier in Afghanistan in 2006, will present a special episode of Inside Out on BBC One.
Parkinson, who grew up in Doncaster, will co-present an episode to commemorate 100 years since the end of World War One with regular presenter Keeley Donovan.
He said: “I was so proud to be part of Inside Out’s programme marking the 100th anniversary of the Great War. These men and women were braver than we can ever imagine. They endured so much for our future, but for them it was never over.
“They had to see their sons and grandsons go to do it again. No generation has ever given more and we should never forget. Remembrance Sunday is the most important day of the year for soldiers. Nothing has changed.
“Soldiers fought for their country then and now. They are still our brothers and we will never forget.”
As part of the programme, he travels to St Mary’s Church in Sprotbrough near Doncaster to meet the bell ringers who will ring the church bells on Armistice Day at the same time as other churches around the UK as part of a special tribute to those who lost their lives.
With some difficulty, Parkinson climbs the stone spiral steps up to the belfry where he joined in the bell ringing.
He is said to be the most seriously wounded British soldier to have survived the Afghanistan War. Since suffering life-changing injuries 12 years ago, he has fought back and has learnt to talk again and to walk on crutches with prosthetic legs.
The full programme will be on BBC Inside Out in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire on Monday 5 November at 7.30pm on BBC One. The programme will also be available to watch on the BBC iPlayer.
