A D-Day veteran who served as a torpedo boat gunner escorting American forces has died at the age of 99.
George Chandler, from Burgess Hill, West Sussex, who lost his sight in later life, was to have led the Blind Veterans UK contingent at the Cenotaph in London on Remembrance Sunday, alongside his granddaughters Lucy Tucknott, 31, and Faye West, 28.
