Former sub-postmaster Lee Castleton talks about the impact the Post Office Horizon scandal had on his life after he was pursued and bankrupted by the Post Office.

Speaking to Today's Mishal Husain, Lee says: "It was devastating. My children were bullied.

"We would get stopped in the street by people saying terrible things, awful things, like that I'd stolen money from old people, saying that I'd stolen pension money."

Lee, who was not convicted of criminal charges but lost a civil case against the the Post Office, also said he'd like to see some speed on a decision from the government, as it looks to find a route to overturn convictions of those affected by the scandal.

Listen to Today on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds: 6-9am weekdays and 7-9am on Saturdays.
