D-Day veteran, 99, is 'great example to us all', King says
The King has praised a 99-year-old D-Day veteran as a "great example to us all" as he toured a regimental museum in Aberdeen. Charles was shown a family heirloom from the First World War, a kilt worn by a soldier who was wounded so grievously he was declared dead - only for his status to be amended to "wounded in action" the next day.
