I was privileged to meet D-day veteran Stanley Northeast today. He came ashore in a 'sea of blood' and fought through France to cross the Rhine in 1945.

Today we honour the bravery of all those like Stanley who left their loved ones behind to fight Nazi barbarism.

Alec Penstone took part in the Arctic Convoys with the Royal Navy - protecting vital supplies to the Soviet Union during the Second World War.

Alec and millions of others showed unimaginable heroism in the fight against fascism.

It was an honour to meet him today.
