On the centenary of Armistice Day, over 100 blind veterans assembled at Horse Guards Parade in London. Some were blinded in action. However, most started to lose their sight well after their service had ended.

Reporter Dave Williams went to talk to them as they assembled for this historic event - we hear just some of their stories.

Also, Peter White visits 97-year-old blind veteran Peter Van Zeller. He is a resident at a Blind Veteran’s UK care home, and shares the story of when he first discovered a previously-unknown family connection to the home, and the charity.

Presenter: Peter White
Reporter: Dave Williams
Producer: Lee Kumutat
