D-Day veteran shares stories with primary children

This year marks 80 years since the D-Day landings during World War Two, the biggest invasion by sea in history.

Pupils at a primary school in east London have been learning about D-Day from a veteran who was there and who will soon be making the journey back to Normandy, France, for the 80th anniversary commemorations.

Ken Hay, affectionately known as 'Grandad Ken' by pupils at Rush Green Primary School in Romford, has been sharing his stories from the time and also taking part in question and answer sessions with pupils.
