“Don’t say I’m a Hero. I’m not Hero. I was Lucky. All the Heroes are Dead and I’ll never forget them. My generation saved the world. And I’ll never forget any of them.”

Piper Bill Millin: a photograph I took of him at Sword Beach on 6 June 1984 after he had played his pipes on the beach, just as he had done 40 years before. Today a memorial remembers this extraordinary soldier who served with Lord Lovat’s Commandos. #DDay #WW2 #DDay 79

We are leaving Normandy today but we have a couple more stops. First stop, of course Pegasus Bridge taken on #DDay by 2nd (Airborne) Bn Ox and Bucks. How moving to stand literally where history happened. Next stop Commonwealth War Graves Ranville Cemetery #DDay 79

#DDay79 update:

I'm at Pegasus Bridge, the crossing point that was one of the top objectives for D-day and which British Airborne troops secured in the minutes just after midnight on 6 June.

Энэ өдөр Холбоотны цэргийн десант 🇫🇷Нормандигийн эрэгт буусны 79 жилийн ойг бид тэмдэглэж бна. Энэ бол нацистууд болон тэдний холбоотнуудын эсрэг 1939 онд эхэлсэн дайны жилүүдийн нэгэн гол үйл явдал бсан юм.

Өнөөдөр эрх чөлөөний төлөө дахин тулалдах хэрэгтэйг бид харж…
