D-Day 80 Memorial

This is a special place for you to share memories and photos of your loved ones who were involved in D-Day - and the wider war effort.

“…the spirit of the people, resolute, dedicated, burned like a bright flame, lit surely from those unseen fires which nothing can quench.”  King George VI, 6 June 1944 (D-Day)

A very quiet and gentle man. He was in the 8th Army. Police picked him up in the landings as he had D Day on his kit bag and the police thought he was a spy giving away secrets.
