Former codebreaker Bernard Manning, from Crewe in Cheshire, captured the nation’s tragedy yesterday as he was pictured poignantly saluting the silent graves of Britain’s soldiers in Bayeux, France. And following a week where the 100-year-old has been personally wheeled around by Rishi Sunak and has met King Charles, Queen Camilla and Princess Anne , he received the deserved applause of every-day people as they packed the streets of Arromanches-les-Bains – returning a smiling salute of his own. It comes after a day filled with commemoration, where royals , world leaders and veterans gathered in Normandy for a series of ceremonies and events, paying tribute to those who served during the 1944 beach invasion.
