"He said "It's perfectly normal , it's what everybody goes through when come back through Earth's atmosphere and then you re-adapt to a 1g environment."
"Earlier, the Soyuz craft used a parachute for the final 15 minutes to descend in a remote spot of scrubland, landing on schedule at 10:15am UK time.
"From what we can see, it shows the atmosphere was not clear and the landing was not straight to the ground, according to Sky News the craft landed on its side.
"The craft was very hot inside due to the Rocket the Soyuz fired to slow its descent and that created small fire on the ground causing the ventilation to be shut down.
"It took the crew six months to complete the mission on the ISS, after they had landed the three crew members were pulled out one after the other and placed on a comfortable seats.
"This was Major Peakes first Earth trip and he is the first Briton to have flown to the Earth on that assignment, his eyes were closed as he appeared very tired and was given thumbs up to the waiting media, Major Peake was then asked by the media how he felt after the arrived Earth, He replied "Great, thanks. It was incredible, the best ride i have been on ever."
"Peake further said "I am just truly elated. The smell of the Earth are so strong. Its just wonderful to feel the fresh air. I am looking forward to seeing the family now"
