Thank you to everyone who came & listened to @everwitchtc tell the stories of our York Normandy Veterans last night in #Lealholm & helped remember those we left behind.#DDay80

@EverwitchTC Such a moving performance by Helen and Natasha in the first half of their tribute to Smudger and Hank. A packed house at Lealholm Shepherds Hall Tearooms last night. Lest we forget.

“Only corn will be growing” The shocking 1942 war crime site of Lidice, Prague, occurred #OnThisDay 10 June 1942. All men were shot, the village razed, and the women and children sent off to the death camps as a reprisal for the assassination of Heydrich #OTD #WW2 #SOE #History

A privilege to have been in Normandy for #DDay80, and to have met veteran Ken Cooke of ⁦⁦@YorkWW2DDayVets⁩. He drew admiration and tears, and even the gendarmes wanted to meet him! ⁦@BBCNews⁩ ⁦@BBCYorkshire#WW2

@sommecourt @YorkWW2DDayVets The wonderful Ken Cooke from the Green Howards - my father in law’s regiment 💚 Thank you for your service Sir. Because of you and your friends efforts on D Day, my father in law was finally repatriated from a POW camp in 1945. Thank you is not enough x ❤️❤️❤️

#DDay80: Ken Cooke of @YorkWW2DDayVets scatters the ashes of Doug Petty, RAF Normandy veteran - just as we had a flyover from the French airforce! What better way to send his soul to the stars!

Here's a snippet of an interview I recorded with D-Day veteran Ken Cooke last month. Speaking to him reminds me how fortunate my generation is, and that's in no small part to the likes of Ken as well as his comrades who didn't come home. #dday #dday80 #ww2 #interview #normandy

This morning we are thinking of all our veterans on this day, #DDAY80, and of all those young men who never returned. Thank you all.
