'I soon realised, I was paralysed'

Ted Owens, 94, from Pembroke Dock, was 19 when he was part of the Royal Marine commandos.
They were a small, amphibious unit of highly-skilled men who landed on France's Sword beach in the wave of initial advances.
It was 75 years ago, yet still the memories, smells and horror of the Normandy landings are fresh in his mind.
