D-Day Normandy 80th Year
We’ve had the privilege to be just off the “Juno Beach” – the Canadian landing beach between Sword and Gold British beaches for the 80th Year Commemorations. It’s been quite a trip, emotional in parts but such an honour to be here. As I write, the build up for the 6th June is starting with preparations for all the dignitaries.
If you’d like copies of any of the images below please email info@VeneziaPhoto.co.uk please with the image name, also please state it’s just for you and your family of for publication somewhere. (if non commercial I’ll send for free)

J’ai utilisé Google Translate ici, donc mes excuses pour toute erreur. Nous avons eu le privilège d’être juste à côté de “Juno Beach” – la plage du débarquement canadien entre les plages britanniques Sword et Gold pour les commémorations du 80e anniversaire. Cela a été tout un voyage, parfois émouvant, mais c’est un tel honneur d’être ici. Au moment où j’écris, la préparation du 6 juin commence avec les préparatifs pour tous les dignitaires.
Si vous souhaitez des copies de l’une des images ci-dessous, veuillez envoyer un e-mail à info@VeneziaPhoto.co.uk en indiquant le nom de l’image, veuillez également indiquer qu’elle est juste pour vous et votre famille ou pour publication quelque part. (si non commercial, je l’enverrai gratuitement)

Ho usato Google Translate qui quindi mi scuso per eventuali errori. Abbiamo avuto il privilegio di essere appena fuori dalla “Juno Beach”, la spiaggia dello sbarco canadese tra le spiagge britanniche di Sword e Gold per le commemorazioni dell’ottantesimo anno. È stato un bel viaggio, emozionante in alcune parti ma un vero onore essere qui. Mentre scrivo, stanno iniziando i preparativi per il 6 giugno con i preparativi per tutti i dignitari.
Se desideri copie di una qualsiasi delle immagini sottostanti, invia un’e-mail a info@VeneziaPhoto.co.uk indicando il nome dell’immagine, inoltre indica che è solo per te e la tua famiglia o per la pubblicazione da qualche parte. (se non commerciale invierò gratuitamente)
We had the privilege to see this Welsh Male Voice Choir at the British Normandy Memorial, a couple of days after the visit from King Charles and other dignitaries please see their website here there will be some videos to follow
We returned to the Arromanches Museum in Arromanches-les-Bains – it’s been completely revamped, really facinating, can highly recommend a visit. Outside there was all manner of vehicles and various people in period outfits
Our first time at Pegasus Bridge, first we stopped at Café Gondrée and saw Arlette Gondree in the back.
We also saw the arrival of possibly the Australian Ambassador to France?? at the museum, we had the honour of meeting a Veteran from Liverpool too
At Ranville British War Cemetry, we paid our respects to the many soldiers that died both on D-Day itself and the ensuing Battle of Normandy – breaks your heart to see the ages of most of them 18years old was very common, hadn’t even lived! Madness!
There was a swing/dance in Courseulles-sur-Mer on Friday evening, here’s a few candid shots
We didn’t manage to get into the Overlord Museum itself due to how busy it was, but lots of things going on outside
