The D-Day invasion involved nearly 160,000 Allied troops - including 83,000 from Britain and Canada

GB News presenters Ben Leo and Nana Akua have criticised the education system for failing to teach young people about the Second World War, particularly D-Day, during a discussion marking the 81st anniversary of the historic landings.

Speaking on GB News, Nana Akua said: "You see, watching that D-Day commemoration 81 years. We've been doing that every year. I asked myself, would the young people of today be prepared to fight for their country? I don't think they would."

Co-host Ben Leo responded: "I think the polls show that, unfortunately, they wouldn't. I was just speaking to Sir Michael Ellis about this.

"I don't recall learning much about D-Day or World War II during history lessons at school, and I dread to think what it's like now. I don't think young people today are learning about D-Day."
