French honour for WWII veteran
A World War II veteran has received France's highest decoration for bravery.
Noel Reggie Ball, 87, from Ynysybwl, Rhondda Cynon Taf, has been awarded the Legion d'honneur medal for helping to liberate Le Muy in Nice in 1944.
The town has never forgotten the members of the Pathfinder's Parachute Regiment who freed them from the Germans.
Mr Ball travelled to the French town to receive the accolade.
