On Tuesday, Helen Patton, granddaughter of General George S. Patton Jr., visited her grandfather's grave in Luxembourg to mark US Veterans Day.

The moment was shared on Instagram by the US Ambassador to Luxembourg, Stacey Feinberg.

General George S. Patton Jr. played a key role in the liberation of Luxembourg from Nazi Germany in September 1944 during the Second World War. He died in a car accident in 1945 and, after an initial burial in Heidelberg, was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Hamm in honour of his service to Luxembourg during the war.
