What a brave young man.

 

To walk up and down sword beach on D Day playing his bag pipes whilst his mates were being cut down by German machine guns. Incredible Bravery.

 

It is such a shame he passed away in 2010 at the age of 88.

 

So he never got to see the bronze statue unveiled of him in France in 2013.

 

RIP.
