    UK D-Day veteran says on 80th anniversary: 'We were making history'

    Royal Navy veteran Fred Ayton was told he was "making history" when he set off across the English Channel 80 years ago on the eve of D-Day, a momentous point in the fight against Nazi Germany for someone who was "only a kid". Ayton was an 18-year-old able seaman torpedoman on HMS Sweetbriar, a corvette protecting Allied vessels from enemy submarines on the journey to the Normandy beaches on June 6, 1944. Ayton will be one of about 200 veterans at commemorations in France on Thursday.
