Legion d'honneur for D-Day's Dougie

- By Sam Russell

A SECOND World War veteran given more than 16,000 cards for his 100th birthday will now also receive France's highest honour.

Dougie Shelley joined the Royal Navy at 17 and was a gunner on destroyer HMS Milne on D-Day.

He had previously mentioned to his carer Paul Bennett that he thought he should receive the French Legion d'honneur medal.

Paul, 77, said: "A lot of his shipmates ... were awarded this medal for service to France."
