Tributes have today been paid to a D-Day hero who carried a wounded soldier over his shoulder for two miles while under fire after he died aged 100.

Denis Bounsall, who enlisted in the British army as a 'boy soldier' aged 15, also once took two enemy soldiers prisoner wielding just a pair of scissors.

He served as a stretcher bearer during the two year Siege of Malta and then at Normandy, Holland and Germany.
