I've been speaking to Mervyn Kersh, a 100-year-old Jewish British Army veteran. Mervyn fought in the Second World War in the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. Having been part of the D-Day landings in 1944 – he tells me the Légion d'Honneur is the medal of which he's most proud – he then found himself in Germany in April 1945. Eighty years ago today, British forces liberated the Nazi-run Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany.

Agnes Wanjiru's family have said they "have waited for too many years and been offered too many empty promises" after meeting Defence Secretary John Healey. The 21-year-old was killed close to the British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK). Her body was found in a septic tank at the Lions Court Hotel in the town of Nanyuki, two months after she disappeared in March 2012.

Two RAF Puma helicopters have flown across Cyprus to bid farewell after a remarkable 54 years of service. After two years on the island, the aircraft is retiring at the end of the month. The Pumas have served the community in Cyprus by helping with aerial firefighting, emergency responses and transporting troops. It was a poignant moment for 84 Squadron too, particularly Sergeant Michael Fellows, one of the crewmen. Sgt Michael Fellows said the aircraft "means so much to a lot of people".
