In a powerful moment captured by BBC Breakfast, WWII veteran Tom Jones met the schoolchildren who had written him heartfelt letters through the VE Mail campaign. Their words, and his response, are a moving reminder of the importance of remembering, connecting, and honouring the last of our living veterans this VE Day 80.
