Ioane Koroiveibau and his family have been overwhelmed after he has been granted his permanent residency status in the United Kingdom.

The former British army man enlisted in 2007. He became an infantryman in the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, the former regiment of the current British defense secretary, Ben Wallace.
