Diana Talbot was only 4-years-old when she learned her father was killed in France. Private Cecil Mercer from Kidderminster had died after the Bren Gun carrier he was in, blew up.

Diana, who now lives in Suckley, Worcestershire, says she remembers the day she found out like it was yesterday.

Her dad was the first soldier from the Worcestershire and Sherwood foresters regiment to be killed after allied troops flooded into France following D-Day.

Diana told our reporter Felicity Kvesic how she'll be visiting the lane where the incident took place, and her father's grave at the Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery in Bayeux later this month.
