:06:30. > :06:40.it. President Putin's reaction was harder to read.
:06:41. > :06:46.Then something else unexpected. A video and dramatic re-enactment of
:06:47. > :06:51.the Second World War, complete with references to Nazi brutality and the
:06:52. > :06:55.Holocaust. This is one anniversary where even the most sensitive issues

:07:00. > :07:04.But above all, this day has been for the veterans. Many of them are frail
:07:05. > :07:09.now. It is time to pass the stories of what they did to new generations.
:07:10. > :07:13.And so, this afternoon, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge
:07:14. > :07:20.joined a group of veterans at a tea party.

:07:38. > :07:45.so many friends who never made it home.
:07:46. > :07:47.And it was a chance for us to express our gratitude for so much
:07:48. > :08:02.sacrifice. Well, the square behind me in
:08:03. > :08:06.Aromanches is still full of British veterans and their families after
:08:07. > :08:10.the march-past a short time ago. 70 years ago they were the men who
:08:11. > :08:14.poured on to the beaches here. Many under heavy gunfire as part of the
:08:15. > :08:19.biggest amphibious assault in history. Some who survived have been
:08:20. > :08:25.here many times. For others, it is the first time they have been back
:08:26. > :08:33.here in 70 years. Our correspondent spent the day with the veterans.
:08:34. > :08:37.70 years ago the windows of Bayeux rattled to the thunder of gunfire.
:08:38. > :08:41.This morning, eyewitnesses to history made their way up the
:08:42. > :08:52.cobbled streets to do their duty once more. Under the vaulteded roof
:08:53. > :08:57.of the cathedral they paraded their Standards. More than 600 veterans
:08:58. > :09:05.honouring the young men who still lie here in Normandy.
:09:06. > :09:09.Every single man that was a veteran, he played an important key part for
:09:10. > :09:16.the success of the whole operation. Every one of them. I have the utmost
:09:17. > :09:22.respect to every veteran that landed on D-Day.
:09:23. > :09:27.So much changed when the ramps dropped on that June morning and men
:09:28. > :09:31.peered ahead through the smoke, knowing they would need luck to
:09:32. > :09:35.survive. Once again we were back on the soil of France.
:09:36. > :09:42.70 years later, they still can't quite believe it.
:09:43. > :09:47.I feel very lucky that I'm here. Chaps where me, my company commander
:09:48. > :09:55.and they are all dead. They didn't make it.
:09:56. > :09:59.I am just lucky, I suppose. Along Bayeux's cobbled streets the
:10:00. > :10:03.clock turned back to the hours when soldiers and civilians met for the
:10:04. > :10:13.first time on the roads from the beaches.
:10:14. > :10:16.How are you? Very well, thank you. The people of Normandy lost
:10:17. > :10:20.thousands of their own in the fighting. Many remember the dangers
:10:21. > :10:25.which lie beneath the sand, the scars on their land scar and the
:10:26. > :10:29.reics of war which were part of daily life. Their gratitudes to
:10:30. > :10:36.their liberators has never diminished. I have been to Normandy
:10:37. > :10:43.before - several times. But this day has been right out of the ordinary.
:10:44. > :10:49.It is absolutely amazing! In fact, except from my wedding the second
:10:50. > :10:55.best day of my life. ??FORCEWHITE NEWSREEL:
:10:56. > :10:59.The first graifrs were drug oh -- the first graves were dug in the
:11:00. > :11:05.days after the landings. Now 4,000 lie here. Give us strength to carry
:11:06. > :11:10.on our work to bring comradeship to all veterans. I have been here
:11:11. > :11:18.before. It is very touching. It makes me cry.
:11:19. > :11:22.There have been moments when emotions overcame them. Moments when
:11:23. > :11:31.they paraded with pride. Above all, they will leave here knowing that
:11:32. > :11:34.once again duty has been done. Many of the veterans here today have
:11:35. > :11:39.said how much they hope the Second World War will never be forgotten by
:11:40. > :11:43.their children and grandchildren. We have been finding out what pupils in
:11:44. > :11:46.a school in Staffordshire made of D-Day and the sacrifices of those
:11:47. > :11:56.who took part. Sophie Hutchinson sent this report
:11:57. > :12:01.on the Future Generations. In the heart of Staffordshire, among
:12:02. > :12:05.the trees, 300 miles from the Normandy beaches, a service of
:12:06. > :12:10.commemoration. Some came to the national mem mor memorial to
:12:11. > :12:14.remember. Some to learn of the sacrifice of another generation.
:12:15. > :12:17.That sacrifice is something pupils at this Staffordshire school were
:12:18. > :12:21.discussing today. What I want to talk about today and think about
:12:22. > :12:26.today is why it is still important in 2014 - 70 years after the events.
:12:27. > :12:30.Why it is still important to remember the veterans who fought. It
:12:31. > :12:37.is extraordinary to think that the youngest known British casualty of
:12:38. > :12:41.the Second World War was a boy on a Merchant Navy ship, who was 14. The
:12:42. > :12:46.same age as some in this class. What does it mean for pupils today? I
:12:47. > :12:51.think, like today's society wouldn't have that sort of courage. Obviously
:12:52. > :12:56.a lot of people think of teenagers these days, they sit back and are on
:12:57. > :13:01.their Xbox. They have gone out, OK, unfortunately he's lost his life or
:13:02. > :13:04.something, he say's tried to make a difference to that country, which
:13:05. > :13:08.doesn't happen as often in our society. If someone said there is a
:13:09. > :13:11.war coming on, can you come? I would be like, what has happened? What's
:13:12. > :13:15.going on? Obviously, they didn't have much
:13:16. > :13:24.detail and they just went straight off and did what they had to do.
:13:25. > :13:28.Hats off to them. They did it. Whatever the doubts about their own
:13:29. > :13:32.generation's courage, these youngsters are proof that the
:13:33. > :13:39.sacrifice made by so many 70 years ago, will be remembered.
:13:40. > :13:46.We will have more from Normandy later in the programme. Now back to
:13:47. > :13:51.the studio. Thank you. And the rest of today's news now.
:13:52. > :13:54.Last year, the International Monetary Fund warned George Osborne
:13:55. > :13:58.he could be taking austerity too far. Today, the head of the IMF
:13:59. > :14:03.arrived in London and admitted she had got it wrong and praised
:14:04. > :14:04.Britain's good, sustained growth. It was not all good news.
:14:05. > :14:10.had got it wrong and praised Britain's good, sustained growth. A
:14:11. > :14:17.warning that rising house price -- prices may damage the economy. There
:14:18. > :14:21.is some flash photography in this of VT. The sun is out. The economy, if
:14:22. > :14:26.it is not soaring away, well it is recovering nicely. That is not
:14:27. > :14:29.exactly what the powerful IMF, monitor and watchdog of the global
:14:30. > :14:34.economy, thought was likely a year ago, when it warned that the
:14:35. > :14:40.Chancellor was playing with fire. He was pushing ahead with austerity.
:14:41. > :14:45.Contrition from the IMF's boss? I completely acknowledge that we
:14:46. > :14:50.underestimated growth. Do I have to go on my knees? We underestimated.
:14:51. > :14:54.Look, we got it wrong. We acknowledged it. We were not the
:14:55. > :15:00.only one to get it wrong. This man is not exactly weeping at the IMF's
:15:01. > :15:03.embarrassment. Today's IMF report shows our long-term economic plan is
:15:04. > :15:09.the right one. The British economy is firing on
:15:10. > :15:15.allsy len dirs -- - on all cylinders. The IMF says we should
:15:16. > :15:19.tackle the deficit, fix the banking system and back businesses to create
:15:20. > :15:26.jobs. We are firmly on the sunny side of the street, are we?
:15:27. > :15:33.Rich, London, prices going through the roof. The IMF says it is not a
:15:34. > :15:37.serious bubble yet. If the overheating in the housing market
:15:38. > :15:41.were to intensify, if it were to spread to the rest of the country,
:15:42. > :15:45.that could be dangerous. So the IMF is urging the Bank of
:15:46. > :15:52.England to move early and gradually to cool down the housing market by
:15:53. > :15:58.curbing mortgages, at a high multiple of what people earn. To
:15:59. > :16:07.strengthen banks so they can absorb mortgageds if they go back.
:16:08. > :16:13.Britain will remain vulnerable to boom and bust in housing, warning
:16:14. > :16:18.the IMF unless there is more of this - the building of new homes.

:20:10. > :20:15.unlucky that they had received some contaminated feed. Outside court he
:20:16. > :20:20.explained how the family was coping. Anybody who has a child and think

:20:25. > :20:29.in that case and seeing him suffering in front of you before he

:23:28. > :23:31.more across the English Channel. Tony Colgan was just 20 when he made
:23:32. > :23:35.this journey for the first time. 70 years and a lifetime ago. He has
:23:36. > :23:39.come back with his grandson, Anthony, who wants to know more
:23:40. > :23:49.about his grandfather's war before it's too late to ask. Just over
:23:50. > :23:54.there we landed and we came up the beach and turned left. Hard to
:23:55. > :23:59.imagine on this peaceful Normandy morning the noise, the chaos and the
:24:00. > :24:05.fear as Tony and his comrades landed, uncertain what awaited them
:24:06. > :24:09.knowing only that it could be death. There was all hell breaking loose
:24:10. > :24:14.when we were about a mile off shore. I thought this is your last day. You
:24:15. > :24:17.are just not going to get out of this. It's weird to imagine that he
:24:18. > :24:22.was a 20-year-old kid running on to this beach or driving on to this
:24:23. > :24:27.beach and experiencing what he has, it's important to remember as much
:24:28. > :24:34.as we can so that I can pass that information on to his
:24:35. > :24:41.great-grandchildren. You are so lucky... As tony's unit pushed
:24:42. > :24:51.further inland the toll of the wounded and the dead rose quickly.
:24:52. > :25:02.We lost 200 men over in one day. It can be emotional. It is, isn't it.
:25:03. > :25:08.Yes. Oh, man, you made me cry now. Yeah. As D-Day passes from living
:25:09. > :25:12.memory, Tony's grandson promises he will remember what his grandfather
:25:13. > :25:20.and his comrades achieved at such a cost.
:25:21. > :25:24.Just to give you an idea of how much it means for so many of these
:25:25. > :25:29.veterans to be here in Normandy today, let me tell you a story of
:25:30. > :25:34.Bernard Jordan, he is 89 years old and he lefs in a nursing home --
:25:35. > :25:37.lives in a nursing home in Hove, he was here during the landings and he
:25:38. > :25:40.was so determined to get here he left the nursing home yesterday,
:25:41. > :25:45.wearing his medals, hidden under a coat, and he boarded a coach in
:25:46. > :25:49.Brighton, came over on his own to Normandy to make sure that he could
:25:50. > :25:53.take part in these commemorations. The police were called by the
:25:54. > :25:56.nurgsing home but thankfully -- by the nursing home but thankfully they
:25:57. > :26:00.found him safe and well here. That's how much it means to so many of
:26:01. > :26:03.these men. Time to look at the weather now.
:26:04. > :26:16.It's been glorious here. Sunshine across the UK at the
:26:17. > :26:21.moment, we are swapping shows skies for stormy ones. Some of you will
:26:22. > :26:27.miss the storms altogether. Humid air across western parts of Europe.
:26:28. > :26:30.Fresher air trying to push in. Storms breaking out now and heading
:26:31. > :26:36.towards us through tonight. The cloud at the moment mostly thin,
:26:37. > :26:42.hazy sunshine out there. One or two spots of rain possible. The odd
:26:43. > :26:45.lightning storm. Later in the night some spectacular lightning storms
:26:46. > :26:48.are expected and torrential rain. Most of you go through the night
:26:49. > :26:52.dry, a humid and sticky night and misty in the north of Scotland as it
:26:53. > :26:56.will be tomorrow. For tomorrow, the main storm risk initially parts of
:26:57. > :27:01.the Midlands, southern England South Wales and Northern Ireland will be
:27:02. > :27:05.during the morning. Even here some will miss. That transfers
:27:06. > :27:07.northwards, prolonged rain Midlands into northern England through the
:27:08. > :27:12.afternoon and into south-west Scotland and another batch in
:27:13. > :27:17.Northern Ireland. Are to some of you will avoid it. North of Scotland
:27:18. > :27:24.staying fine. Later Northern Ireland and through southern parts, it
:27:25. > :27:28.should be a fine end to the day. Once the sun comes out it will feel
:27:29. > :27:32.warm. The storms rumble on during Saturday. Into Sunday it's going to
:27:33. > :27:37.be a fresher day. A lot of dry and sunny weather around initially. A
:27:38. > :27:41.few showers, many of you avoiding them and staying dry, especially in
:27:42. > :27:50.the south. Even though the air is fresher it will still feel warm once
:27:51. > :27:53.the sun is with you. For now, back to Sophie in France.
:27:54. > :27:57.Thank you very much. That's all from the team here in Normandy. In a
:27:58. > :28:02.moment the news where you are. Let's leave you with some images of D-Day,
:28:03. > :28:09.then and now. From Normandy, goodbye. D-Day has come, early this
:28:10. > :28:16.morning the allies began the assault on the north-western face... When
:28:17. > :28:21.the shells were coming over I said, if I can survive this, I will work
:28:22. > :28:38.the rest of my life for nothing, just to be alive.
:28:39. > :28:49.They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old, age shall not
:28:50. > :28:53.weary them, nor the years. At the going down of the sun and in the
:28:54. > :28:57.morning, we will remember them.
