The weather was still overcast with intermittent rain as we met at 8am for the commerative service to remember those who fell on the beaches at Normandy and to pay respect to the half a dozen or so of surviving veterans all around 90 years old, including Cyril. There was an apology of absence from Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
We reconvened at 3pm for a larger service which included leaders of the armed forces and local mayors and dignitaries.
Sadly our tour is now coming to an end as we move to Guines today, a small village near Calais where we hope to get a ferry crossing tomorrow.
