6th of June 2019 marked the 75th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy in France in the Second World War. We were incredibly moved by the 75th Anniversary Memorial Services for the united Allied forces who sacrificed their lives for our peace and freedom.

On June the 6th 1944, soldiers from all over the world came to fight on the beaches of Normandy to defeat tyranny. Allied soldiers came together from United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada, France, Australia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Norway and New Zealand. It remains the largest seabourne invasion in history with 156,000 soldiers and 195,700 naval personnel. It laid the foundations for the Allied Victory on the western front and, ultimately, the end of the Second World War.

It may surprise you that there is no memorial in Normandy, France to commemorate the historic sacrifice of the heroes of the British Normandy campaign. The Americans have a memorial at Omaha and the Canadians have a memorial on Juno.

It is for this reason that we have chosen to donate to the “Normandy Memorial Trust” and contribute to the “British Normandy Memorial” in Normandy. This is a fitting tribute to our precious veterans, whose immeasurable courage and sacrifice have gifted us our freedom that we enjoy today.
The opening ceremony of the “British Normandy Memorial” was due on Friday 4th of September 2020 but unfortunately, it had to be postponed because of the Coronavirus pandemic.
