@Barber1944 @6thairborne Thank you so much for this information,Neil. My mum and I were able to pay our respects in the 1990s when we visited Ranville. My dad passed away in 1977,when I was a young girl,but I knew how much he kept William in his thoughts.

After seeing Ranville Cemetery lit up last year, my friends & I decided to do it ourselves, obviously on a smaller scale. So pleased we did. Such a rewarding experience in choosing the graves and very emotional walking into the cemetery again shortly after midnight on 6 June.

@Barber1944 @6thairborne Somehow the lights bring further poignancy. My father’s friend William McLaughin rests there. Both men jumped in as part of 6th Airborne RAMC.

On behalf of Paul and me, I would just like to thank the Bomb Group Museums for their support. Bomb Group is now on sale at Ridgewell, Thorpe Abbotts, Horham, and Parham. As well as telling the story of the 381st and 8th Airforce BGs, it will raise funds for the museums.

Do you think Lucy Powell should resign with immediate effect ? A simple YES or NO will suffice. YES from Joan to start

Andrew Marr has described Reform as “sometimes borderline racist” because the party talks about the impacts of immigration. What a disgraceful way to speak about a political party that’s received millions of votes over the last 12 months.
