Myself and Mrs BHR spent our honeymoon last year in Normandy.

Her grandfather had been a Marine Commando in the 1st wave.

Furthermore her grandmother's boyfriend of the time was killed just outside Bayeaux. (She met Mrs BHR's grandfather after the war)

We went to Arromanches, Caen, Pegasus Bridge and the British cemetery at Bayeaux.

This was my 3rd visit to the area and I never fail to be moved by the experience.

To all those who served our thanks goes out to you for all time and with out reserve.

BHR
