Fred Glover fought on D-Day. He lost friends, was wounded and spent time as a prisoner of war. But he has no doubt what he would do if faced with the same situation again. Find out more about how we are marking #DDay75: ow.ly/AAsW50uv1dX

A collection of video from some of Buster Keaton's most well known stunts. He was a trailblazer in raising the bar of what could be expected in cinema. His use of visual comedy and seemingly death defying stunts has left a timeless legacy in the history of film #hollywood #stunt
