"The Home Office has announced that all British citizens born before September 2nd 1929 will be entitled to free passports.
The Home Secretary today said that the decision had been made in recognition of the sacrifices made by the war time generation.
Speaking today, David Blunkett, said: 'I want to thank and honour every adult who helped us defeat the Nazis and their allies - not just those in our brave armed forces, but those who played their part on the home front. Now the wartime generation - some 4.5 million people - will receive free passports for life in recognition of what they gave to secure our nation's liberty and democracy."
