D-Day veteran honoured at 94

D-DAY veteran Harry Billinge, 4, who helped raise almost £20,000 for a British memorial honouring his fallen comrades, has been awarded an MBE.

A Cockney who has lived in Cornwall for 70 years, he said: ‘I did my job and I didn’t want any glory. There’s no glory in war. I am choked beyond measure to think I have got an MBE. I don’t deserve it.’
