This is what Lt Col Merritt thinks of Brexit

Brexit worries me. What we went to so much trouble to do, to collect all the European big nations together, to break it all up now, would be a crying shame, I feel.”

I'm sure if any country threatened the free world, we would still combine with them to fight them off.

Makes no sense.

Well I voted remain, but I don't understand that. The EU didn't exist in 1944. We will still be as much a part of Europe as we were then.

Marie Scott, a DDay veteran and a recipient of the Legion D'Honneur was interviewed on Channel 4 News this evening. In addition to questions about her war time exploits she was also asked about her thoughts on the UK leaving Europe. She was a little reluctant to answer at first but she said the UK and the other countries had fought to save Europe and it was strange that they'd fought so hard to protect something that we are now leaving. She said that European culture was part of her and the she loved Europe and the UK.

I think that the majority of Remainers would agree with her and I wonder what the Leavers think
