British World War II veteran Frederick Wyatt (R), 92, from the 48th Royal Commando Dragoon Guard, explains the meaning of his decorations to a choir boy (L) of the St John’s College Choir of Cambridge, on June 5, 2014 in Bayeux, northern France, a day before the start of the D-Day commemorations. The D-Day ceremonies on June 6 this year mark the 70th anniversary since the launch of ‘Operation Overlord’, a vast military operation by Allied forces in Normandy, which turned the tide of World War II, eventually leading to the liberation of occupied France and the end of the war against Nazi Germany.
