Piers I know you like to champion a good cause. Have you seen this lad? He’s raised nearly £85,000 for RAF veterans since his mum died when he was 7 years old. He’s spending his 13th birthday on top of Kilimanjaro with his dad hoping to reach £100,000. @piersmorgan

OTD 81 years ago. A knocked-out Cromwell tank of 2nd Welsh Guards, 10 September 1944. After the capture of Brussels and Antwerp, British Second Army's headlong advance was halted as German resistance stiffened.

In early September XXX Corps, with Guards Armoured Division in the lead, battled to cross the Albert and the Meuse-Escaut canals and reach the Belgian-Dutch border. This Cromwell was knocked out during fierce fighting to take the village of Hechtel.
