Victoria Cross: 'It represents everyone who couldn't be here'

Bill Speakman, 89, was the very first serviceman to be presented with a Victoria Cross by Queen Elizabeth.

On Remembrance Sunday, he'll appear at the Cenotaph alongside fellow holder of the award, 37-year-old Johnson Beharry.

The two men are part of a select group of just 10 living people awarded Britain's highest military honour.

They shared their stories with Tim Muffett.
