    D Day hero Richard Todd goes back to Normandy for anniversary of landings | News | News Of The World

    MOVIE legend Richard Todd starred in two of the most famous films inspired by World War Two, The Longest Day and The Dam Busters. But it's his TRUE-LIFE war experience that makes him most proud.


    RICHARD, who you can see on speaking on video here, was the very FIRST D-Day Para to jump from a plane over northern France in the early hours of June 6, 1944. Now aged 89, the News of the World has taken him back to Normandy days ahead of Saturday's 65th anniversary of those momentous landings.
