I'll be staying at the Commonwealth camp at the Batterie de Longues, together with a group of some 40 Dutchmen and 16 Czechs, all with Canadian and British vehicles. Am looking forward meeting Thomas and his group!
Drop in if you are passing by. PM me if you need my phone number. Address: Site de la Batterie, Rue de la Mer, 14400 Longues-sur-Mer, France Hanno

Liberation Parade at Bayeux, Sunday 8th June - videos shot by my sons with a small photo camera:

Hi Hanno
Tell your son he did a good job, you got to love the crowds and smiles. Interesting how YouTube put the videos in linked to the newsreels or did you insert the link so that the Pathe videos come up with it? Cheers Phi
