Normandy veteran 90-year-old Pat Churchill is given a kiss by his wife Karin as he poses for a photograph at his home in Witney on March 20, 2014 in Oxfordshire, England. On D-Day, June 6 1944, Pat Churchill was with the 2nd Royal Marines Armoured Support Regiment, which landed on Juno Beach. Asked what his most vivid memory of D-Day was he replied: 'Seeing later at low tide all those sunken craft. There must have been hundreds of them and thinking you poor devils. That is something I will always remember from D-Day.' (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
