Freed mercenary Simon Mann has arrived back in the UK for what he called the "most wonderful homecoming I could ever have imagined".

The Old Etonian and ex-SAS soldier, who was pardoned earlier this week after being jailed over a bungled coup in Equatorial Guinea, touched down in a private jet at Luton Airport.

Mann, who could now face questioning by British police, said he was looking forward to meeting his son Arthur, who was born after he left the UK.
