- In this one-off special to mark the anniversary of D-Day, the actress Vicky McClure embarks on an emotional journey with her 97-year-old grandfather, Ralph, to learn about his role in the most extraordinary single day of the Second World War. Vicky sets out to understand how Ralph - then still a teenager from Nottingham - found himself in the Royal Navy and at the centre of a world-changing battle on the Normandy beaches on June 6, 1944. The pair visit the only surviving example of the type of landing craft he trained and crossed the Channel on, and discover aerial pictures believed to show his flotilla landing at Normandy - before travelling back to the beach he last visited almost 80 years ago.

Good for you Vicky McClure, you’ve done your Granddad and the vets proud..there’s plenty of actors that would never even try this.
My respect for this girl doing that is through the roof, her grandad must be proud!
I love your dedication to your grand dad and to experience a sliver of what he may have felt that day. Thank him for me for putting himself on the line.
Fantastic of you!
I couldn't have done it. Amazing to you and your grandad. My dad was an RAF engineer on the spitfire world war 2. He was a amazing too. Everyone who served in world war 2. They were wonderful.
Great effort,those guys are heros,MG42 shooting at you,wow!
Brave men, I'm in my foruties and I'm not my generation could do what they did, but I'm sure the ones folwing me wouldn't
You lie on the beach but your race hasn't even begun yet!
Keep moving forward!
this is a mockery
Well done Vicky.
Yes, they were selfless, committed and brave.
Our greatest generation. ‘Men of men’.
I don’t think the current mob could do it, and hope we never ever have to.
Lest we forget.
