D-Day commemoration

My dad was in the Royal Navy for D-Day. I will never forget him telling me that when he looked out from on deck on the morning of 6 June all he could see was ships, large and small, as far as the eye could see, covering the water.

This year's 65th anniversary commemoration included representatives of the South Shields Branch of the Normandy Veterans Association. Their testimony from the Shields Gazette and the Today Programme is striking.
