D-day hero Fred chokes to death on his breakfast

Veteran spent final days in care home

ONE of Scotland's last surviving D-Day heroes died after choking on his breakfast in a care home.

Glaswegian Frederick Temple died aged 97 while eating one of his favourite meals in an ex-forces care facility.

The ex-Royal Marine was one of the last survivors of the 1944 Allied Normandy beach landings.

There are thought to be just 100 men who took part in the operation still alive.

Frederick had mentally "regressed" back to his time in the forces, and would often ask care home staff to "see the captain of the ship", an inquest into his death heard.
