65 years ago at this moment the naval part of Operation Overlord was underway, the beaches of Normandy were now a scene of a naval invasion the scale of which will never be repeated.
I am 25 years old, 65 years ago I would very likely have been on that beach, those men died so that I may type this in peace from my home on the East Anglian coast. I am just returned from laying some flowers at the local war memorial, those men who fought today, have my eternal gratitude.
God bless them, all of them.
