I'm so pleased, although not surprised, that you mad your way down to Portsmouth today. We have been watching it on the BBC for 7 - 8 p.m., and now on the main news. What a day full of memories for the few that are left.

Thanks dear LGM, I'm pleased that I managed to get down for it as well xxx

Thanks for the prompt star dear LGM x

Nice shot dear Nick, Ive watched Trump's visit over there, hope he behaved himself.. Im drawn to all those small boats/sail boats in foreground. quite a few of those. I enjoyed the coverage at Normandy with all the memories. Such a sad day, My father was in the Navy at this time and Mr, O;s dad was in the Army,,,,, a really nice shot Nick, hugs, Sarah

Hi dear QofC Mr Trump has been very good (Well mostly) We owe America a lot for their support and participation . Yes so many of us lost family one way or another ~ We remember them

I had hoped you would be there Nick and show some pic's of the day. A great event and like Amelia, I was watching a lot of it on TV. It was quite clear that the veterans have never forgotten their lost comrades. I have to admit to shedding a few tears. There were not many families back then who had not lost someone in the war, including my own. Have you been watching The Blitz: Britain on Fire, on CH5?

Hi dear Rosa ~ Thank you we will remember them and I'm sorry that you lost relatives. I have not yet watched any of the Blitz series yet, hopefully I can play catch up soon ~~~~

I saw some of the veterans, all going for the 100 years. They were very noble.

So true Dani

A lovely shot indeed Nick of the departure to Normandy ... i am pleased also to see some of the coverage on TV throughout the day ..

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve, yes it was a very moving day, I think that TV was offering the best views ~ All the very best to you ~ Nick

Hi Alan, yes a very special day for so many ~ All the best to you ~~~ Nick
