Prime Minister Keir Starmer marked the 81st anniversary of D-Day by meeting veterans and volunteer drivers from the Taxi Charity For Military Veterans. The charity's drivers have been transporting former servicemen and women to Normandy for years.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister listened to the veterans share their experiences from the historic landings.

The gathering brought together those who served during the Second World War with the volunteers who ensure they can continue to visit the beaches where they fought.

The meeting provided an opportunity for Starmer to hear first-hand accounts from those who participated in the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France on 6 June 1944.

"My son is 16, just about to be 17. So when I went last year for the 80th anniversary, it's. I'd been before, but I'd never been having myself a son a little bit younger than the young men that were running up the beach, and suddenly it brought it home to me," Starmer said.
