D-Day veteran given honorary degree at 100 years old

Centenarian Jim Glennie celebrated his 100th birthday in August, having met King Charles earlier this year during his visit to an Aberdeen museum.

One of the last surviving veterans of the D-Day landings has been awarded an honorary degree from Aberdeen University.

Jim Glennie was 18-years-old when he took part in Operation Overlord, the largest air and sea invasion in history.

He was later captured by German troops, before being liberated a year later.
