A D-Day veteran has died aged 99 - just one year after he spoke about his heroics for the first time. Great-grandfather Maurice Sutcliffe, was part of the first wave of soldiers who landed on Juno Beach in Normandy on June 6, 1944. Royal Marine Maurice and his landing craft crew set off from Chichester harbour to make the hazardous 100-mile journey across the Channel that morning. They were tasked with one of D-Day’s most daunting missions – taking a small landing craft stacked high with four tons of anti-tank shells to the beach invasion.
