Last D-Day Veteran Jim Glennie Remembered | Belfast News

Jim Glennie, Scotland’s last surviving D-Day veteran and a true war hero, has passed away at 100. Landing on Sword Beach at just 18, he was shot twice, captured, and endured incredible hardships before returning home. A devoted volunteer for 30 years at the Gordon Highlanders Museum, he was honored with France’s Legion d’Honneur and the British Empire Medal on his 100th birthday — even meeting King Charles, who called him a great example. His funeral in Aberdeen will be attended by loved ones and fellow veterans, as the museum and community mourn the loss of a steadfast legend who embodied courage, resilience, and service.
