Chris Tarrant: My hero dad never talked about D-Day

Maj Tarrant, who died in 2005, was twice awarded the Military Cross for actions during World War Two, the presenter said.

The broadcaster said his father crossed the Channel in choppy seas on D-Day in a boat carrying English and Canadian soldiers.

The officer later wrote in a memoir: “I have never, ever seen so many ships nor ever, ever will again.

“People around me were throwing up but surprisingly I wasn’t sick at all, not even really frightened. I don’t think I was. I was just apprehensive.”
