Eighty-year-old Yuichiro Miura received a hero's welcome as he returned to Kathmandu after becoming the oldest person to climb Mount Everest. The eighty-year-old Japanese climber, who has a history of heart problems, took the record from Nepal's Min Bahadur Sherchan, who was 76 when he reached the summit in 2008. Miura's celebrations could be short-lived, however, as Sherchan, who is now 81, is still up the mountain hoping to take the record back. Report by Tom Ellis.
