Royal Marines veteran Robert William Yaxley, 95, was in the Sword beach assault on D-Day and was pleased to see plenty of green berets greeting him and his comrades at the harbour. “I feel so lucky to be here today,” he said. “I was very lucky, I landed on D-Day and went all the way through to Germany without a scratch. It’s very important to mark this occasion and it’s great to see so many green berets here to greet us.”
