    Well to be honest,I did all the above in about 6 hours,although I did only visit one beach,and I had the wife and two daughters in tow.

    Bayeux to Arromanche is 15kms,and then it’s about 30kms to Cafe Gondree,and Pegasus Bridge.And then from there,about 5kms to the ferry at Caen.

    The cemetery and museum are opposite each other,so two attractions in a short space of time helps,and I know there are other places to see/do,but the above are what I wanted to see.I’ve no doubt,given more time,I would do more in the future.

    Well,back home in Blighty,and did the business,and have to say,I was very moved by the Commonwealth cemetery in Bayeux,after visiting the D-Day museum,nearby.

    Also visited Arromanche,and couldn’t leave without a visit to Cafe Gondree,which was superb.Like a time warp in fact.

    I do have some pics,but may need some help posting them,if anyone is interested,as I’ve not put pics on here before,but I need to upload them to my computer first,after I’ve got some sleep.

    Thanks to those that pointed me in the right direction on my visit to our neighbours soil.It’s something I’m pleased I’d done.

    Currently holidaying in Brittany,and sailing via Caen this Saturday at 11pm,so without doubt on the list,is a visit to Cafe Gondree,and Pegasus Bridge,and time permitting,a museum.

    I don’t think any picture of the old girl,is a bad one.

    It’s events,and pictures like these that make you proud to be British.

    Superb.

    I have to say the whole proceedings were very moving,and it makes you realise how lucky we all are.

    Lest we forget indeed.

    PS.Why was Prince Edward wearing military uniform with honours? I thought he quit the marines?

    Many thanks,my curiosity is now satisfied.

    What was funny though,is that when PA474 flew over,(My personal favourite 😀 ) people must have thought I was on something illicit,as I was running around like a headless chicken. 😮
