A navy veteran who was reported missing after he left his nursing home to attend D-Day celebrations said he was “overwhelmed” to receive at least 2,500 cards for his 90th birthday from strangers. Bernard Jordan became famous earlier this month after he made his own way to Normandy for the 70th anniversary of D-Day after the Royal British Legion trip he wanted to go on was booked up. “I just can’t believe it. I want to thank everyone who sent me a card or a gift,” he said in an interview. “Sadly I can’t thank everyone in person so I hope they get this message.” “There were a lot of other people on the beaches of Normandy that day, this lovely attention is for them really, not me.”
