Ian Cameron was born with both legs deformed, during his life he
underwent numerous operations. Speaking of his father in March,
Cameron said to ITV reporter Sir Trevor McDonald "My father is a
huge hero figure for me, because he's an amazingly brave man.... To
have a disability in the 1930s and 1940s, a different age, was
really tough, but he never let it affect him in any way."
David Cameron missed today's edition of Prime Minister's Question's
