The whole family watched it, including my two teenage boys, who were spellbound. I took them to Pegasus Bridge Cafe, the D-Day beaches and the cemeteries at Ranville and Caen earlier this year. I hope that such a vital part of their education will enable then to carry on remembering long after I am gone.
But back to last night. My boys couldn't understand how Dad seemed to have caught a cold half way through the programme. Bl00dy brilliant!
