Chelsea pensioners visiting Sark

A group of Chelsea pensioners have visited Sark for the island's Liberation Day celebrations.

Sark was freed from German occupation a day later than the other Channel Islands at the end of World War II.

The ex servicemen arrived at Maseline Harbour and then went to meet school children on the Bel Air field.

Chelsea pensioners, known by their distinctive scarlet coats, were given the freedom of the island for their part in its liberation in 1945.
