A man who walked thousands of miles along the coast of Britain with his dog on mission to pick up litter said it was the best thing he has ever done.

Wayne Dixon and his Northern Inuit Koda set off 10 years ago with the aim of picking up rubbish while raising awareness about littering.

After travelling about 4,000 miles (6,440km), the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to their efforts and the pair never actually completed walking the full length of the coast.

They were forced to return home to Darwen in Lancashire where they continued to pick up litter in and around their local area.

Koda died in 2025, but Wayne described him as "the perfect friend".
