Series 74: Exeter 13

In Devon, Christina Trevanion learns the incredible story of the World War II soldier who bravely played the bagpipes as bullets rained down on British commandos during the D-Day landings in Normandy. Bill Millin's son John explains how his Scottish father was ordered to play his pipes as troops landed on Sword Beach on 6 June 1944 - and how fearless Bill unwittingly mooned German troops in the process!
