Falklands veteran recalls HMS Coventry bombing and rescue

John Sheldon was among the first to rescue people from the bombed HMS Coventry during the Falklands War.

The ship was sunk on 25 May 1982, with the loss of 19 crew.

But he said returning home to his family when the conflict ended after losing his two best friends was a "double-edged sword."
