It's a very special day over here, and presumably in UK. The Queen and Prince Charles are at Ouistreham (the Caen ferry port) today. Flags everywhere in our local town. For anyone interested there is so much on the internet I wouldn't know where to start. please log in to view this image
Time to honour those whose sacrifice secured peace in Europe and make sure that we never again end up in such a mess (yes, that means you Mr. Putin)
Yes it was. Spent all afternoon at Utah Beach (not very far from us). Great scenes and atmosphere. Seeing people placing flowers in the sand was a bit moving.
sounds though you had a very good day Ron - I remember visiting Pegasus Bridge a few years go. I see the Queen is still managing to fit the Derby in tomorrow though!
What a snap shot of a picture that is Ron... You wouldn't want to anywhere near there would you...!!! Bravery beyond belief... ...We should never forget...
A war veteran tried to enter France yesterday but was told his passport had expired, his response "you weren't too bothered about checking my passport 70 years ago"
