Terry Waite

Church envoy Terry Waite went to Beirut in January 1987 to negotiate the release of several hostages being held there.

But he ended up a hostage himself and was held captive for 1,763 days. Much of his time was spent chained to a radiator under armed guard.

Today he lives in Hartest in Suffolk, where earlier he opened the revamped village hall - almost 10 years to the day since he officially owned the hall in the first place!
