Ted Cordery was a 20-year-old torpedo man for the Navy when he stood on the upper deck of HMS Belfast and looked helplessly on as dozens of men drowned around him.

D-Day, on 6 June 1944, was the world's largest seaborne assault and the beginning of the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe.

Ted, now 95, vividly remembers the events of that day 75 years ago, and says the horrific things he witnessed will stay with him forever.

Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt says the UK will have "disagreements" with President Trump over issues such as climate change and women's rights.

"We will have disagreements but I think we need to discuss them, we need to encourage each other," she tells Radio 4's Today programme.

Asked about Mr Trump's previous comments on women, for which he has been heavily criticised, she adds: "We can only discuss these matters."

BBC News correspondent Robert Hall has been talking to D-Day veterans ahead of the commemorations today.

"They are ordinary people," he says. "So many of them say, ‘look, we are not heroes’.

"But they all saw pretty dreadful things – some of them suffered, some of them were wounded, some of them were taken prisoner.

"A lot of them never talked about it until recently. One chap told me he’d only told his brother a month ago about his experiences in the war."

Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt says it has been her privilege to meet D-Day veterans in her job as a Portsmouth MP.

Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme about today's commemorations, she says: "I think it is our chance - perhaps our last chance - to say thank you to these amazing individuals.

"The courage that they showed, the immense scale of that endeavour is breathtaking."

What 96-year-old Jake Larson remembers most about D-Day is the feeling of exhaustion. Well, the exhaustion and his first taste of champagne.

"Let me tell you the story." he says from his home in California. "You'll love this story!"

Seventy-five years on and Jake's vintage tales of war are still as effervescent and sparkling as the bubbly he used to knock back in Normandy.

For 65, perhaps for 70 years, he refused to speak about his experiences on the French coast - when he left the US Army in 1945, he was demobbed with "the shakes", he says.

But when he did allow the cork to pop, suppressed memories frothed and spilled over in Technicolor.

Today's main event is the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

President Trump will travel to Portsmouth to mark the occasion with the Queen and other world leaders.

The landings were the first stage of Operation Overlord - the invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe - and aimed to bring an end to World War Two.

Mr Trump says he has "all the cards" when it comes to winning the 2020 US presidential election.

"I'm running on maybe the greatest economy we've ever had," he tells ITV.

"I have all the cards. We're the piggy bank. We're the bank that everyone wants to steal from and rob. And when you have that you have the cards. And I do have the cards."

Asked whether there are any potential Democrat candidates that worry him, he says: "There's no Winston Churchill in the group, let's put it that way."

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly complained that Europe's Nato members are not spending enough on the alliance.

He believes the US should not have to bear the burden of funding the defence of the continent.

The United States accounts for nearly 70% of the total spending on defence by all Nato members.

Mr Trump says that he would like to avoid military action in Iran and would be prepared to sit down in talks with the country's President Rouhani.

"Iran is a place that was extremely hostile when I first came into office," he says.

"They were behind terrorism in lots of different places... they were a funder of terrorism."

Asked on ITV's Good Morning Britain whether he thinks he will need to take military action, Mr Trump says: "There's always a chance. Do I want to? No, I'd rather not."

"I'd much rather talk."

"The only thing is we can't let them have nuclear weapons. I know so much about nuclear weapons."

Mr Trump says he "certainly would" meet the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, but felt it was not appropriate to do so.

Speaking to ITV's Good Morning Britain, Mr Trump says: "He wanted to meet and it was very tough to meet and probably inappropriate to meet to be honest with you."

"A lot of things are happening right now with respect to our country, your country, my country."

"I didn't think it was appropriate to meet him, but I would, I certainly would."

Asked whether he believed the science on climate change, President Trump tells ITV's Good Morning Britain: "I believe there is a change in weather, and I think it changes both ways."

Trump says Prince Charles spoke to him yesterday about the future of the planet and climate change.

"We were going to have a 15 minute chat and it turned out to be an hour and a half. And he did most of the talking," Mr Trump says.

He said the prince was "really into climate change", adding: "I think that's great. I want that."

"He wants to make sure future generations have climate that is good climate as opposed to a disaster. And I agree."

Mr Trump has tweeted saying: "I kept hearing that there would be 'massive' rallies against me in the UK, but it was quite the opposite.

"The big crowds, which the Corrupt Media hates to show, were those that gathered in support of the USA and me."

On Tuesday protests took place in central London and other cities - including Glasgow, Edinburgh and Sheffield - with demonstrators voicing their opposition to President Trump's visit.

Whether you are overjoyed about Theresa May leaving or not, it is telling that the three names Donald Trump mentioned immediately when asked about the next leader were Boris Johnson, Jeremy Hunt, and Michael Gove, categorising them deliberately or not as the three most likely candidates to win the keys to Number 10.

All three have been invited to meet Donald Trump. You wouldn't expect the US president to invite the football team of candidates for the job to spend time with him on this visit.

But it's notable that neither Sajid Javid nor Matt Hancock - both cabinet contenders - received invites to talk or to meet. Nor did one of the other Brexiteer frontrunners, Dominic Raab.

Of course, smart candidates could even turn the lack of invitation to their advantage.

Donald Trump won't of course have a say in this race and he is such a Marmite politician that chumming up to him is not necessarily an advantage for any of the wannabes.

Today's main event will be the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Portsmouth.

President Trump will join the Queen alongside figures from every country that fought alongside the UK in World War Two.

Those countries have agreed a joint statement to mark the event, pledging to ensure the "unimaginable horror" of the war is never repeated.

Called "the D-Day proclamation", the 16 signatories - including the UK and the United States - commit to working together to "resolve international tensions peacefully".

Day two of the US president's three-day state visit was all about politics.

After a roundtable discussion with business leaders, Mr Trump and Mrs May held a joint press conference. Meanwhile, protesters marched on Westminster.
