D-DAY 2009

What a day it has been.


In convoy with the poms to a beach East of Arromanche. Then we had to wait for low tide for a few hours.



The gendarmerie had blocked many roads for festivities and we had to use a few back roads and a distant beach to get a back door on to Arromanche beach.














The intention was to join a massive gathering of vehicles and craft on the beach at Allamanche.






Willy did not wait for low tide and waded through the sea wet sand to join the family, who were already waiting for a few hours. That gave us a prime spot on the beach, next to a landing craft.



There were still many real veterans and we paid our respect to them in style.






Wonderfull to see quite a few still in good health.

Old soldiers never die
