We didn't do much today but 70 years ago a great many did...... The anniversary is very big here and rightly so, it brings back memories of our time in Normandy last year.
The stories told by the veterans are incredible, it makes you wonder if you had lived in that time would you have shown the same courage.
Lest we forget.....!
D-Day Landings (1944). A Day that Shook the World. On June 6 1944, Allied troops begin their invasion of Europe with the D-Day landings in Normandy. It was the start of the final phase of WW2.
Incredible headcam footage shows the moment an 89-year-old D-Day veteran parachutes into the same field he landed in 70 years ago. Report by Claire Lomas.
