Oh Peter stop it!
Just because people don’t mark an occasion in a highly visible manner doesn’t mean that they have forgotten. We’ve had this discussion before. People remember in their own particular and often private ways, and not just on the Anniversary. Equally, for those who do remember or think of the events of 65 or 70 years ago, there are others who have spent a lifetime trying to forget. I suspect you’re not the only person in Braintree to have thought about the events of the 6th of June 1944, even if you think you are.
