My opinion is to let them build. I think it’s great that thanks to our veterans the French have the ability to be building near these sites. Is time supposed to stand still for ever? Of course not. The last time I was at Dieppe, it was for the 75th Anniversary. There was a large Summer festival including midway rides located on the grass promenade between the beach and the town. Some were understandably upset that such a festival was taking place in a place where their loved ones had been killed or wounded or captured. However I told them look at it in a different light of isn’t it great that people are able to have fun and carry on with life in a place and not to let 9hrs define it for ever.
