Dudes just a quick one (oh er missis), do you need to need to declare that you are going to follow up a block with a move before or can you do it after?

You can't block and then move - that's a blitz. If you're going to blitz, you should tell your opponent before you move the model.

I don't think that's quite what LFP means - yes, you must declare whether you are going to take the "follow up" movement - the occupying of the space vacated by the player who was blocked - before you continue with other dice rolls of any kind. This includes rolling for damage on the knocked down player... If you mean by 'after' taking a move separately than this, as howlinggriffon interpreted your question, then yes, it is a blitz which you would have declared before your action anyway.

But I don't think you have to declare if you want to follow up when you declare a block. I think you declare a block,roll the Block dice...see what the result is and then decide if you want to follow up...it makes a big difference if you follow up on a pushback or a POW result.
The important thing is that you must decide to follow up before you roll for armour.
