Jim Radford from Lewisham is thought to be the youngest person to have served on D-Day. He was a galley boy in the Merchant Navy at just 15-years-old. Since the war, he’s been a folk singer and peace campaigner and has now, aged 90, released a single to raise funds for the Normandy Memorial Trust. He’s been speaking to BBC Radio London’s David Friend about his experiences of June the 6th, 1944.
