Breaking barriers for Purple Day
Until recently people with epilepsy have been advised not to take the tour, even though they are not at greater risk of accident or injury than in any other situation.
The 13 people, the first official tour for people with epilepsy, climbed the 334 spiral steps up the Clock Tower of Big Ben just after it struck nine this morning. Katherine Ford, Andrew Hackett and Sol Nicholson climbed to the top of the 150 year-old Clock Tower on behalf of Epilepsy Action.
