GB News presenters Ben Leo and Nana Akua have criticised the education system for failing to teach young people about the Second World War, particularly D-Day, during a discussion marking the 81st anniversary of the historic landings.

Speaking on GB News, Nana Akua said: "You see, watching that D-Day commemoration 81 years. We've been doing that every year. I asked myself, would the young people of today be prepared to fight for their country? I don't think they would."

Co-host Ben Leo responded: "I think the polls show that, unfortunately, they wouldn't. I was just speaking to Sir Michael Ellis about this.

"I don't recall learning much about D-Day or World War II during history lessons at school, and I dread to think what it's like now. I don't think young people today are learning about D-Day."
