Sir Michael Caine makes rare public appearance alongside fellow Korean War veterans

Actor Michael Caine has commemorated the 70th anniversary of the Korean War ceasefire alongside fellow Korean War Veterans.

The 90-year-old actor, whose real name is Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, fought as part of the 1st Battalion Royal Fusiliers in 1952 at just 19 years old. Just a year later he contracted Malaria and was sent home from the British Army.

No longer a soldier, he became Michael Caine and turned his attention to acting instead.
