In pictures: the D-Day 80th Anniversary memorial service in Leamington

Photographer Allan Jennings has sent us the pictures he took as Veterans, dignitaries and residents gathered at the war memorial in Leamington today to mark the 80th Anniversary of D-Day.

The moving service, in Euston Place today (Thursday June 6), included readings, prayers, poems, bugle player Ian Bode playing The Last Post and Reveille, a two-minute silence and the laying of poppy wreaths.
