If you didn't see this last night on ITV it is worth watching it on catch up.

It is a lovely story of her relationship with her grandad and the role he played on D-Day. Like so many of his generation, he plays it down and says it was just a job they had to do. Due to being a butcher, he was exempt from going to war but enlists to join the navy. I won't say any more than that other than it will bring a tear to your eye at times.

The Guardian link does go into further detail.
