A Knighthood for Harry Bellinge. In addition to his MBE.

Harry Bellinge was one of the first soldiers to land on D Day. He is a survivor and a national hero. He has raised £1 for every person lost on that awful day. The Government decided his lifelong work was worth an MBE. I think this humble war hero should be knighted.

I think Parliament need to ensure this hero gets the proper recognition he deserves.
