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)

This dedication is for my mum. She helped to build some of the planes that helped to win WW2 at Brough in East Yorkshire. She became engaged to my dad during the war and they married on his return in 1946. She died at the age of 96. Never to be forgotten.
