What a great story.....talk about fighting spirit and determination.
Looks like he made a few friends on the ferry too.
My dad would have given his eye teeth to have made that trip I know....sadly with his health and mobility at 90 it would have been impossible.
Not many WW2 veterans left now.
I found some of the stories and commentaries very moving.
Good on him
Excellent story!!
The old boy probably remembers D-Day like is was yesterday.
Yep, I'll bet he doesOriginally Posted by fred
Sadly, my dad had a troubled time throughout his life.....even at 90 he still had vivid nightmares.
He attended the 60th anniversary and made quite a number of visits to various memorials/cemeteries in France.
Well done Mr Jordan
I read about this earlier, what a wonderfully determined gentleman, who certainly knows his own mind! God bless him

By the way, he was not actually banned from attending by the care home......that's just media hype
