I went to Normandy on the 65th anniversary of D-Day. This was the scene on the beach at Arromanches showing remains of the Mulberry Harbour.
During the trip we also visited the Pegasus Bridge where my father dropped as a para to re-inforce the glider crews after they had taken the bridge. He was part of a two-man Vickers Machine Gun crew. Once the area was secure his regiment went on to fight numerous battles pushing the Germans back.
