D- Day 80th Anniversary Blackpool 2024

D-Day - 6 June 1944 - was the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare. The statistics of D-Day, codenamed Operation Overlord, are staggering. The Allies used over 5,000 ships and landing craft to land more than 150,000 troops on five beaches in Normandy. The landings marked the start of a long and costly campaign in north-west Europe, which ultimately convinced the German high command that defeat was inevitable.

The piper was grand. I am to the pipes as Les Dawson was to the piano, except he meant it. My Papa wasn't involved in D-Day. He had been sent home with shrapnel wounds and had to guard PoWs. Most of them were happy to be captured
