"Sergeant Ray Holmes saved the palace when a German Dornier bomber lined up to attack it on 15 September 1940.

Sgt Holmes, from Wirral, had run out of ammunition when he saw the threat, so sliced through its tail then parachuted to safety."


Now THAT is a true hero!

Can you imagine the reaction of the Dornier pilot?
