    Just brilliant to visit Arromanches today and the remains of the Mulberry Harbour with Jim Radford. Jim was here on as a 15-year-old Galley Boy aboard the Empire Larch, a merchant navy tug bringing over parts of the harbour.

    We must all do our tri-Service duty. Southwick Park (Defence College of Policing & Guarding) is now rodent-free. A surprisingly large map, preserved in the old planning room, is interesting; must have been a lot of cats for all those ships?

    Have just left Amfreville where we stopped at a farm which was a Commando Battalion headquarters. The lady who lives there, 95 year old Madame Saulnier came out to visit our veterans and even remembered our Commando veteran Roy. What an amazing moment!

    What a great neighbor, friend and ally... Nearly 80 years of fighting side by side with other democratic countries, yet he bullies Canada and appreciates N. Korea. 🤷🏻‍♂️ What flags are shown on the invasion map below? Apologies to all of our close friends and allies.
