"A D-Day commando commando whose unit landed in Normandy without helmets has died aged 100. Dennis Donovan served with 48 (Royal Marine) Commando and was part of a force that landed at Juno Beach on June 6 1944. None of them had helmets, only their green berets. The commando landed alongside the Canadian North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment. A spokesman for the Canadian Juno Beach Centre Museum said: “It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of British veteran Dennis Donovan. “The museum team sends their sincere condolences.” The Ministry of Defence estimates that about 70 to 80 D-Day veterans are still alive."
