Veteran John Roberts has been

Veteran John Roberts has been presented with a plaque at The D-Day Story museum as the 80th



 anniversary of the assault approaches. The wall commemorates those who took part in the key WW2 attacks.

Mr Roberts, who reached the rank of Royal Navy rear admiral, served on board HMS Serapis. His convoy arrived at Sword Beach at 7.30am on D-Day and continued to fire on German positions along the coast for 11 days.

Now 99 years-old and from Kent, John said: “I will never forget that day, and I’m proud to know the British people won’t forget either.”

We thank you for your service John.
