Today marks 81 years since #DDay, the largest seaborne invasion in history. D-Day was a truly international effort with British troops fighting alongside many other countries. Join us today as we remember the service & sacrifice of all those involved in turning the tide of #WW2. https://t.co/6yts6hVi4Q

Looking forward to watching the @itvmeridian special live from France and Dover at 6pm as the little ships arrive to remember Operation Dynamo and the Miracle of Dunkirk #Dunkirk85 https://t.co/ZmbKJosnYL

On @itvmeridian at 6 we talk to men and women from the South who remember life on the Home Front during #WW2 as the nation marks 80 years since the conflict in Europe ended. #VEDay80 Thanks @Barchester_care https://t.co/dxIxaJDpp8

Hampshire County Council’s Cabinet votes to keep (and save) Stubbington Study Centre and reject a proposal to turn it into a specialist welfare children’s home. Tens of thousands had signed a petition to keep it and thousands marched in protest recently.

Here is Noreen talking about one of her tasks - chatting up men who were training to become British undercover agents in WW2. A far more important job than it might sound. @itvmeridian #wwii https://t.co/ktN6cyL5dc

Of the hundreds of people I've interviewed by far one of the most interesting and engaging was Noreen Riols. @itvmeridian visited her home near Paris in 2017 to hear tales from her time in SOE - Churchill's Secret Army. Very sad to hear of her passing. https://t.co/3Gdk3utVTC
