A Normandy veteran accused Rishi Sunak of letting the country down by leaving the D-Day 80th anniversary events early to record a General Election campaign TV interview.
The Prime Minister apologised for his decision to leave Normandy before a major international ceremony to mark the anniversary of the Allied landings but urged people not to politicise the event.
He admitted that “on reflection” he should have stayed for the event where world leaders including US President marked the sacrifice made by troops landing on the Normandy beaches in 1944.
