A 100-year-old World War Two commando has inspired the next generation of Royal Marines during a visit to the Commando Training Centre in Devon.
John Eskdale from Lydney, Gloucestershire, visited the base in Lympstone to attend the pass out parade of 366 Troop.
Recruit Sean Brennen described the veteran as an "unbelievable gentleman" who was "so inspiring".
Mr Eskdale spoke to the recruits and told them they would have "good times and awful times," advising them to "take it as it comes".
