It's so sad that the Government had to be dragged kicking and screaming through the courts to do the right thing.

Gurkha war heroes have won the right to stay in Britain after the Government was ordered to recognise its 'debt of honour' to them.

Veterans wept with joy and bellowed the traditional war cry of 'Ayo Gorkhali!' - 'the Gurkhas are coming!' - after the landmark judgment.

More than 2,000 former Gurkhas were refused permission to live here because they had retired before July 1, 1997.

(edit)

The Gurkhas' cause provoked widespread outrage that Britain had abandoned former soldiers to a life of poverty while opening its doors to hundreds of thousands of economic migrants.

Their supporters included the actress Joanna Lumley, 62, whose father served alongside them in the Army for more than 30 years.
