Let's all write to the Imperial War Museum asking them not to charge the veterans a penny for attending the commemoration of their own courage and sacrifice.

I gather that, in Normandy, VIP security for that famous warrior Mr Bush* and others is limiting the access of veterans to some of the very ground over which they fought.

Whilst writing this, don't forget Project Propeller at North Weald on 3rd July. These events will diminish over time: Radio 4 estimated yesterday that veterans of WW2 are dying at the rate of 1000 a day.
