HIS great-grandfather led Britain through its darkest hour. Sixty years after D-Day, Jack Churchill - the great-grandson of wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill - was in Southampton to formally open an exhibition of wartime photographs by photo-journalist Robert Capa.
The exhibition at Southampton Art Gallery runs from today until September 12 and shows pictures taken by Capra during the D-Day landings at Normandy.
Other pictures featured at the exhibition are taken by Time Life photographer David Scherman and show Winston Churchill surveying the beaches at Cherbourg.
The photos form the centrepiece of Southampton's commemoration of the 60th anniversary of D-Day, which has been put together by the city council's libraries, arts and heritage division.
