Aidan Leahy's family are today making the trip to London to be reunited with him after his four-week kidnap ordeal in Iran.

Speaking shortly after his older brother was handed over to the authorities, Seamus, a bar owner, said: "It's hard to put into words just how we're all feeling right now. I can't wait to see him again."

Speaking in Iran yesterday, Aidan said he and his two German companions suffered a huge amount of mental stress, but were physically unharmed by their captors.
