SECRET documents relating to the D-Day landings have been found at a Hampshire hotel - 70 years after they were left behind by army chiefs.

The treasure trove of material was discovered at the Balmer Lawn Hotel, which was used as an army college during the Second World War and was involved in the planning of the Normandy invasion.
The paperwork was found under floorboards that were being replaced during renovation work at the four-star hotel in Brockenhurst.
