Tributes are being paid to a D-Day war veteran who has died aged 97. Royal Marine Jim Healy's proud family described him as a modest 'reluctant hero' - one of the lucky ones to survive the largest seaborne invasion in history.
He was just 19 at the time.
The Royal British Legion meanwhile, who supported him when he visited the shores of Normandy in France again in 2019 to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day, said he leaves behind 'an incredible legacy'. Jim was one of the few D-Day veterans still living in Greater Manchester.
