An Alford veteran will be remembering his fallen comrades as the country observes 2 minutes silence at 11 o clock for Armistice day.

96 year old Jeff Palmer has just been given the special Legion of Honour medal for his part in the liberation of France.

His ship performed various duties including mine sweeping in the run up to D Day.

Jeff says it's important for everyone to remember the sacrifices and wear a poppy.
