Least we not forget 70th Anniversary D-Day landings

[Nelly]

A very proud day today tinged with great sadness. Whole generations of young men & women who gave their lives so that we could live in peace.

Thank you.

A very special day in history...

Our local news did a story last night with an Aussie Mosquito pilot that was in the sky over Normandy on D day & he was recounting the vivid memories he had & the emotion he showed all these years later was very moving !!!

Great story on Sky News this morning about the 90 year old who went walkabout from his nursing home to attend the commemorations.... sparking a missing person search!
