World War Two veteran reunited with woman he met in 1944

This is the second jam sandwich Reg has given Huguette. The first was 78 years ago when she was just 14.

Reg Pye, now 98, had first shared a jam sandwich with her while he waited to advance into France just weeks after D-Day.

In return, Huguette, now 92, left him a photo of herself.

Neither had forgotten the encounter and with the help of a veteran's charity, they were recently reunited.
