Royal Marines Band surprise veteran for his 100th birthday

A veteran who celebrated his 100th birthday this week was given a surprise performance by the Royal Marines Band.

Jim Churm, from Crossmichael in Dumfries and Galloway, had attended a D-Day concert at Edinburgh's Usher Hall in June, where he was moved by the band's rendition of Heart of Oak - the official march of the Royal Navy.

His son sent the musicians a letter telling of his father's appreciation - they said they were "humbled" by his words.

The band decided to surprise him outside his local pub on Tuesday, with a rendition of Happy Birthday.
