It has been 10 years since Formula One legend Michael Schumacher suffered a terrible accident while skiing which left him with life changing injuries.
On 29 December, 2013 Schumacher and his son had been skiing in the French Alps when he fell and hit his head, cracking his safety helmet.
Schumacher was airlifted to hospital in Grenoble and placed in a medically induced coma, which he was later brought out of in 2014.

Since then he's been recovering at his home with his family, who have kept details about his condition sparse.
A family lawyer had previously said that a health report about Schumacher's condition was not made public in order to protect 'private matters'.
Felix Damm said a final report was considered, but not released to the public as that would not have been the end of interest in his recovery, and there would have been subsequent request for updates anyway.

Friends and family have spoken about Schumacher's condition from time to time following his accident.
In Netflix documentary Schumacher his wife Corrina said: "I mean, everybody misses Michael, but Michael is here.
"Different, but he's here and that gives us strength, I find. We try to carry on a family as Michael liked it and still does. And we are getting on with our lives.
"'Private is private', as he always said. It is very important to me that he can continue to enjoy his private life as much as possible.”

His brother and former fellow F1 driver Ralf said he missed 'the Michael of the old days', and even though 'nothing is like it used to be' he did add that 'advanced medical science provides many opportunities'.
Ralf said the accident had 'changed' the family, and said it had been a 'significant experience' for everyone but particularly Michael and Corrina's children.
Michael's son Mick, who has followed his father into motorsports, posted a tribute to his dad where he said he thought his father would understand him differently now he's gone into racing.

Schumacher's friend and former Ferrari boss Jean Todt is one of his regular visitors and said they had been able to watch F1 together.
"I don't miss Michael, I see him. Yes, it's true, I watch races with Michael. But sure, I guess what I miss is what we used to do together," Todt said of his friend.
The full extent of the 54-year-old's condition may not be entirely clear, but that information belongs to his closest family and friends.
