Real life Band of Brothers met again at Upottery airfield - where they left for battle 64 years ago.

American heroes Donald Malarkey, 87, and Earl McClung, 85, returned to the airfield where they had boarded for their mission in Normandy on June 5, 1944.

A crowd turned out to meet the veterans of the infamous Easy Company of the Airborne 101st division, along with an original C47 warplane.

Among those visiting were locals who remembered seeing the regiment in training as children during the war.
