A World War Two veteran who split up from his fiancée after suffering shell-shock is getting married to her more than 70 years later.

D-Day veteran Roy Vickerman broke up with Nora Jackson in 1946 after he struggled to adjust to civilian life after being wounded by a Nazi sniper.

For seven decades Roy bitterly regretted losing his wartime sweetheart so set about trying to track her down to apologise.

Incredibly, after enlisting the help of his local radio station he was reunited with her after discovering they lived just two miles apart.

They discovered their partners had since died and were now single so they picked up where they they left off in the 1940s.
