With them was Mr Ben Fuzzard who is a 98 year old veteran of the second world war. He was in the Royal Navy and he took part in the D Day landings being in charge of a landing craft.
Fellow resident Christine Hall said: “Last June he was a guest of the British Legion attending the 75th Anniversary of D day in the UK and France. He is one of the last surviving WW2 veterans and has many stories to tell as his memory is amazing.”

“The weather was perfect and we each took a picnic and chairs into the garden where our older neighbours shared their wartime memories and enjoyed listening to the music and songs of that time.”
