D-Day Veterans Awarded France's Highest Honour After 73 Years

73 years after D-Day, six veterans of the landings have received France's highest honour.

The Legion d'Honneur was presented to the men at a ceremony in London on Tuesday. 

It may have been a long time coming but this honour does not mean any less to the veterans attending.

Ceremonies like this have been taking place to honour all those who played a part in the French liberation.

It's a rare chance for the veterans, each of whom took part in the landings in 1944, to catch up and share stories with people who lived through that experience.

These men can now add the Legion D'Honneur to their many other medals.
