This week marks 80 years since the D-Day landings, a key turning point of World War II. Sky News has spoken to some of the few remaining veterans who were involved in the Normandy landings about their memories of that day.
Host Niall Paterson explores the stories of radio operator Marie Scott, Ken Hay who served in the 43rd Essex regiment and landed on the beaches, and Bill Gladden of the 6th Airborne Reconnaissance Regiment who flew into Normandy on a glider.
