The Prince of Wales told of his son’s interest in learning about the Second World War and a centenarian performed a magic trick for the Queen, as veterans attended a Buckingham Palace tea party.
A 98-year-old former prisoner of war, a 99-year-old who served with the Desert Rats and took part in the D-Day landings, and a 100-year-old woman who worked in the Special Operations Executive (SOE), known as Churchill’s Secret Army, were among 30 veteran guests of honour, according to the Royal British Legion (RBL) which helped organise the event.
