A charity has paid tribute to its “remarkable” war hero patron who has died, aged 107.
Rose Davies, from Shrewsbury, was awarded France’s highest honour for her radar surveillance work during World War Two.
In her nineties, she became a befriending volunteer for Omega, an organisation working to combat loneliness.
Chair of trustees Linton Waters said Rose taught everyone “to go for life in a big way”.
Ms Davies operated a radar surveillance system to monitor shipping in the English Channel during the D-Day landings.
The French government awarded her a Legion d’Honneur for her work, the country’s highest order of merit.
Speaking decades later, she said: “I always felt my role on D-Day was insignificant in comparison to those brave lads who risked their lives and in some cases lost them.”
