MV Boudicca sets sail for Normandy carrying 300 veterans

I'm so pleased, although not surprised, that you mad your way down to Portsmouth today. We have been watching it on the BBC for 7 - 8 p.m., and now on the main news. What a day full of memories for the few that are left.

Thanks dear LGM, I'm pleased that I managed to get down for it as well xxx

Thanks for the prompt star dear LGM x

Nice shot dear Nick, Ive watched Trump's visit over there, hope he behaved himself.. Im drawn to all those small boats/sail boats in foreground. quite a few of those. I enjoyed the coverage at Normandy with all the memories. Such a sad day, My father was in the Navy at this time and Mr, O;s dad was in the Army,,,,, a really nice shot Nick, hugs, Sarah

Hi dear QofC Mr Trump has been very good (Well mostly) We owe America a lot for their support and participation . Yes so many of us lost family one way or another ~ We remember them

I had hoped you would be there Nick and show some pic's of the day. A great event and like Amelia, I was watching a lot of it on TV. It was quite clear that the veterans have never forgotten their lost comrades. I have to admit to shedding a few tears. There were not many families back then who had not lost someone in the war, including my own. Have you been watching The Blitz: Britain on Fire, on CH5?

Hi dear Rosa ~ Thank you we will remember them and I'm sorry that you lost relatives. I have not yet watched any of the Blitz series yet, hopefully I can play catch up soon ~~~~

I saw some of the veterans, all going for the 100 years. They were very noble.

So true Dani

A lovely shot indeed Nick of the departure to Normandy ... i am pleased also to see some of the coverage on TV throughout the day ..

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve, yes it was a very moving day, I think that TV was offering the best views ~ All the very best to you ~ Nick

Hi Nick yes watch all the TV coverage very moving day YS Best wishes Alan.
