"We are honoured to celebrate three exceptional storytellers," said Hay Festival chief executive Julie Finch, who said the three winners had "each done much to push the boundaries of contemporary writing and spread the joy of stories here and around the world".

He says Between These Times is a "slow cinema" style film which aims to show "how agonisingly slow it is to travel by bus".The 22-year-old, from Bishops Waltham, Hampshire, began his challenge on 26 January and completed it on 6 February.

Limitations on his bus pass meant he could only travel after 09:00 on weekdays and could not enter Scotland or Wales.Mr Bowhay, who developed cataracts in both eyes at the age of four, has limited vision in just one eye.He says moving out of home after university feels "unviable" due to a lack of public transport.

He said: "I attend a lot of hospital appointments at Southampton, and getting there independently is pretty impossible."During his trip, he said only three of the 26 buses had audio announcements, and one had visual announcements.

He said: "I had to spend a fair amount of time sort of looking out the window and trying to work out, actually, where I am, where I need to get off."

Mr Bowhay said he experienced delays of up to 40 minutes, had difficulties scanning his pass, and sometimes waited several hours for connections.Mr Williams' case has similarities to a fight waged by other military veterans over their pensions.

Jim Monaghan was involved with the Equality for Veterans Association (EfVA) which also campaigned against pension decisions in the 1970s.Military rules before April 1975 meant that in most circumstances, servicemen had to serve 22 years to be eligible for an armed forces pension in addition to the state pension.

Mr Monaghan left the RAF at the end of 1974, having accrued 14 years' service, including in Singapore and the middle east.Had he left a few months later, he would have received a military pension. The rule change in 1975, like rules on pensions generally, were not retrospective.
