À l'approche des côtes de Provence, à la mi-août 1944, un camarade algérien & facétieux de mon grand-père lui a dit : 'maintenant c'est toi l'indigène'.

❤️ For all those veterans unable to make it to the beaches, D-Day ceremonies and memorial grounds to stand where their comrades fell.

Massive highlight of this year for me was meeting Mrs Lorna Cockayne during the commemorations. Lorna was a Wren during and worked on Collosus at Bletchley Park in 1944. I would have loved to spend more time speaking to her. What a lady.

We are saddened by the passing of D-Day veteran John 'Jock' Hutton who served in the 13th (Lancashire) Parachute Battalion.

Last year, Jock touched the hearts of many, parachuting over Normandy at the commemorations.

His courage and spirit must never be forgotten.

As Suzanne Bonvie, you covertly wove a web of destruction against the Nazis.

At 20, Sonya d’Artois, Agent Blanche of the Special Operations Executive, parachuted in before D-Day to support the Allied invasion and liberation of France.

Reflecting on how much yesterday’s flight meant... sitting next to a retired pilot now flying for & there for the memory of his father’s squadron in ... a bucket list item for him to be on a airplane... and a chance I’ll never miss nor take for granted.
