Today is the sixth of June. The 65th anniversary of the D Day landings. A day when we pay tribute to the men who landed on the Normandy beaches – Gold, Juno, Sword, Omaha and Utah – to begin the liberation of Western Europe. A day that we thank the dwindling ranks of old soldiers for what they did for us. A day to think about the depths of courage these heroes had to summon up on this longest day.
But above all it is a reminder to us all of what is still owed to those who fell on the Normandy beaches.
Our admiration for them does not diminish. Nor does our debt of gratitude. We cannot repay them. But we shall never forget them.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
