A D-Day veteran's grandson, a proud Scots Guardsman, has returned to Normandy carrying the same pipes his grandfather had with him on Juno Beach 80 years ago.

Lance Sergeant Dougie Warren played the pipes during the wreath-laying ceremony at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer, near Gold Beach.

"It's a very special day, I don't think I could have asked for more," said Lance Sergeant Warren.
