D-Day sweethearts to marry after 70 years apart

A couple who were sweethearts during World War II are planning to marry, 70 years after they lost touch.

Roy Vickerman broke up with Nora Jackson in the 1940s, after the trauma of his wartime experiences ended their engagement.

He managed to track her down with the help of 蜜芽传媒 Local Radio. It turned out she was living just over a mile away.

Roy said: "I put on my best suit and a bunch of flowers, got a taxi and went to Nora's house and she gave me a kiss."
