"The day at Belsen was the most horrible of my life"
80 years ago British troops liberated the Nazi concentration camp, Bergen-Belsen, where an estimated 70,000 people died.
It was a shocking and unforgettable day for the soldiers involved, including Gunner Herbert Hurst from Rawtenstall, who was part of the 63rd anti-tank regiment.
