What a week! D-Day hero makes ministers retreat on Normandy cash, then celebrates his 100th birthday
Daily Express
|April 21, 2025
D-DAY braveheart Peter Kent capped a remarkable week by celebrating his 100th birthday with a message from the King and Queen.
The Navy hero raised a glass at a party held in his honour just days after he forced the Government into a humiliating climbdown.
Ministers had backtracked on a promise to help pay for the veterans' annual pilgrimage to mark the Normandy invasion of June 6, 1944 which began the final defeat of Nazi Germany. Peter called it a "betrayal".
His words prompted an 11th hour assurance of funding, but no apology.
Invasion
Peter of Pimlico, Central London, is one of a handful of veterans making an emotional return to northern France with the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans.

My urge for nightly toilet dashes are now out of control
I'm a 78-year-old woman and lately have been getting up three or four times in the night to use the toilet. It is not too much of a problem but I've noticed that by the time I get there, I have leaked, even though I get up as soon as I need to go. Last night, as I made my way to the bathroom, I wet myself so much it just gushed out of me, which is rather disturbing. I don't have the same in the day although I do feel the need to go, but don't do much. What do you suggest?
