I am not doing any tips today. Having watched the very moving views of the D Day Commemorations yesterday and today, I do not feel it would be appropriate.
To watch those veterans, so determined to pay their respects, certainly brought tears to my eyes. What they saw, and heard and experienced cannot be forgotten by them and never should be forgotten by us or by our descendents.
I am watching this morning's service right now, having had to go out part way through, and I am not ashamed to admit the tears are pouring down. So many of those men have never spoken of what they experienced until now, and, in the last part of their lives, are facing those horrors again to pay their respects to those who were cut down in their youth next to them.
We must never forget the huge numbers of young men, sons, brothers, finances, husbands who gave their lives to ensure we could live in a world where we are free to have opinions, free to have our own beliefs.
Remember them and teach your children to understand and remember them always!

We must never let them be forgotten.
It certainly was very moving. X
Well said. It’s so very sad xxx
I agree with every word Margaret, I too cried unashamedly.
