80 years ago today over 150,000 troops went to Normandy, thousands never to return. Today marks 80 years since D-Day and it was a privilege to attend the service today at Bexhill War Memorial.
At these events I try to imagine what it must have been like, the fear, the horror, the comradery with the people facing it all with you, the thoughts of your friends and family.
It was great to have a chance to thank local members of the RBL and Veterans Association after who do so much to ensure we all never forget.
