Alfred was awarded the Legion D'Honneur. The award, is one of the highest military awards in France. The French Government invited all British service personnel who took part in the Normandy landings to apply for the award in recognition of their services and bravery.
Alfred who served in the Army joined with other D-Day Veterans at the ceremony at Stockport Town Hall to receive his award.
It was an honour to meet Alfred from Romiley last week, where I had the opportunity to thank him, and other D-Day veterans for their service for our country. Their sacrifice will always be remembered.
