I watched most of the BBC coverage, from Her Majesty the Queen at Juno, the ceremony at Bayeux to the Queen at Arromanche; and found myself affected by whole thing. Mainly the pride and raw emotion of those taking part. It was an excellent tribute (well done France for the organisation), and the feelings of the French people towards the Allied veterans, almost as if they had adopted them as their own.

GENTLEMEN OF ALL THE ALLIED FORCES - WE THAT ARE ALIVE TODAY BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID THEN, SALUTE YOU.
