Shaker Aamer, (click here) the last British resident detained in Guantanamo, has been reportedly released and is flying back to his wife and four children in London.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond confirmed to Sky News Mr Aamer had been released. His plane is believed to be due to land in the UK at around midday today.
Co-director of the We Stand With Shaker campaign Andy Worthington also said he had confirmation from Mr Aamer's lawyer he is due to return.
"We're delighted to hear that his long and unacceptable ordeal has come to an end," he told Press Association....

Thirteen years has gone by and the children will be near adulthood. There is much they have to get used to.

Shaker Aamer was never charged or faced trial.
