A D-Day veteran has spoken of his “surprise and delight” to be presented his 100th birthday card by King Charles at Buckingham Palace. Jim Miller, who landed on Juno beach when he was just 20, told the King about his personal experience of “such a momentous and harrowing time”. He said: “I am proud that I can still share my memories with the generations that come after me.
“I was totally surprised and delighted to be invited to Buckingham Palace. It was a special day and a real honour for me to meet the King and be presented with my 100th birthday card,” Mr Miller said. It came as the Princess of Wales was “considering” a surprise appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace at Trooping the Colour, an insider has claimed.
She has not been seen in public since Christmas Day, but she could appear next month “if she is feeling well enough” an insider told the Daily Mail . The King , who was also diagnosed with cancer in January, has however confirmed his attendance at Trooping of the Colour on June 15..
