"Gurkha soldiers have been a popular part of the Powys community of Brecon for more than three decades.
The Gurkha company based at the local army camp is so popular the soldiers have been made honorary citizens of the town and each year hundreds of people gather to watch their colourful parade as they march through the streets.
But after they finish their careers in the army, many are reluctant to return to Nepal, with few opportunities and little chance of work.
However, one ex-soldier has made his life in Wales by setting up a much needed and popular business in the town. "
