GB News interrupted for devastating death news as presenter pays emotional tribute

GB News presenter Ben Leo interrupted his show to share the sad news the UK's oldest World War 2 veteran has died. Looking solemn he said: "A really sad story. Donald Rose... the UK's oldest surviving World War 2 veteran has sadly died at the age of 110. Mr Rose served in the Queen's Royal Regiment as a sniper and survived a bullet to the leg during the D-Day landings. He served in North Africa and Europe, and was awarded the French Legion of Honour, the highest award the French can give."

As he listed off Rose's accomplishments a picture of the veteran was broadcast on screens. Leo then paid his own tribute saying: "I just want to say, and I'm sure the panel agree, all of us at GB News send our sincere condolences to his family, and thank Mr. Rose, and indeed all his his colleagues and compatriots for their extraordinary service to our country. May he rest in peace."
