A D-Day commando whose unit landed in Normandy without helmets has died aged 100.

Dennis Donovan served with 48 (Royal Marine) Commando and was part of a force that landed at Juno Beach on June 6 1944.

None of them had helmets, only their green berets.

The commando landed alongside the Canadian North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment.

A spokesman for the Canadian Juno Beach Centre Museum said: “It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of British veteran Dennis Donovan.

“The museum team sends their sincere condolences.”
