Bernard Jordan said he had no regrets after slipping out of The Pines nursing home in Hove on the southern English coast on Thursday wearing his medals under his raincoat.

The former Royal Navy officer joined a coach party heading for events marking the 70th anniversary of the landings at Ouistreham in Normandy, northern France.

In his youth, he ran away to SEA.

In the winter of his life, he ran away to SEE.

I love a sailor and his spirit.
