Débarquement : revivez la journée de commémoration du D-Day

This is such a special year to be visiting Normandy.  It is highly likely that we will meet veterans at the D Day sites during our stay in Normandy, and we hope that we may be able to talk with them.

The radio station RTL has produced a simple pictorial chronology of the events of the 70th commemoration on 6th June 2014 here:

Voici la plaquette officielle du #DDay distibuée à la presse:



 "Les jeunes générations doivent se souvenir qu'ici, 2 millions de soldats s'affronteront au milieu d'un million de civils", a déclaré François Hollande.

Thanks to Julian Whiting for sharing this site - a place to commemorate individuals who died in Normandy.
