Tyne Tees Vj Day

The veterans joined the Daft as a Brush charity to remember those who fought in the 'Forgotten Army', including Bombadier Len Gibson from Sunderland.

The walk started at the Cenotaph in Newcastle this morning, and will end at the Cenotaph in Sunderland, Len’s birthplace.

Bombardier Len Gibson speaks to ITV News Tyne Tees about life as a World War Two prisoner of war.
