An 89-year-old war veteran found in Normandy after being reported missing by staff at his care home in Hove, Sussex, is making his way home "to face the music".
D-Day veteran Bernard Jordan, 89, who was reported missing from his care home when he embarked on a solo mission to Normandy, told ITV News he hopes to do the same again next year.
"It was a first class show," he told correspondent Paul Davies.
"I've been here last year, and this time, and touch wood if I'm still about I shall try next year as well."
