"I'm not a hero": Yes, you are. You, sir, are one of those who fought the Nazis and helped to rid Europe of that evil regime in those dark days. You are a British national hero and you always will be.
Absolutely!
"We defeated the wrong enemy" - General Patton
@@NobleBoss Always some hitlerists trying to muscle in. Try that in 1945.
Not only a British hero, but a hero for all mankind
Very touching and I think of my dad who was in the Battle of the Bulge at 17 years old. It was so cold he said he almost froze and his feet got frostbite. He said that he took a coat off a dead German soldier to keep himself warm. Bless them and heroes all.🙏💖
This British reporter is so professional and well spoken. ❤ RIP The greatest generation of all time!!!
The previous generation suffered much more, but their cause is valued less.
I live in California, and I just want to say that I really appreciate the D-Day news/stories on British television. The broadcasts are more thorough and intimate, and I get a better understanding of the veterans' experience. Thank you !!
California likewise.
Washington state, and SAME.
Michigan here..I agree.
Alberta Canada. Same here
This is why it's so vital for 🇺🇸 to always remain allied to 🇬🇧 and all our other NATO members in order to keep peace in the world
Thank you for broadcasting this. It’s so precious to capture the remaining twenty veterans’ stories and recognise what they did for securing our freedom.
You are a hero my dad landed on D Day he would have been 101 this year but sadly passed away at 94
Sorry to hear @ Your Loss... 🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼
@@miryambarnabas2424 thank you
@@nothingtoseehere999 You're welcome! Have subscribed to Your Channel! ❤️
God bless him, he is with the rest of his comrades in HERO HEAVEN
RIP
You are a hero in a lot of peoples minds, mine included. Thank you for your service.❤❤
Amen!
he is not a hero he is a legend and legends never die
Amen in Agreement with you!
You are absolutely a hero your my hero and the millions of others that you're generation gave our freedom.
All gave some, but many gave their all, the ultimate sacrifice of them all THEIR LIFE. Each and everyone a hero. Infinite respect and thank you.
I really like the idea of the school year standing next to each one of the silhouettes and then researching them, definitely should be on the schools curriculum, as this should NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
For those who survived, the heroes never came home.
In 1983 I spent New Years eve in Bayeux near the American Beaches and Cemetery. At Breakfast on New years day, I chatted with a D Day veteran (British) who
year after year would come to the French coast on New Years Day to visit his friends grave. Each time he could not muster up the courage. I never found out if this time he did. The men from such humble places in life remind us that he battle to rid the world of evil never ceases.
Heroes and Heroines everyone of them We the generations that followed thank you for your sacrifice
Two women died on DDAY. Two.
Sir you are a hero you and the other brave souls put your and there lifes second for us thankyou sir
So hard to see these men so emotional.
This was a very good and heartwarming presentation. Thank you.
As an American, I was very touched by the compassion you demonstrated for the remaining British D Day veterans and those buried in the nearby cemeteries. We need to cherish the actions of all soldiers who fought on the beaches that day. I am also sorry for your loss.
Thank you 🇦🇺
Thank-you fine Sir all you brave young men gave all and at a great cost my children and family live in freedom many Canadians lost their life at Juno Beach one very proud Canadian here....
A very moving report, very good job GMB!
Now we will carry the torch of remembrance and pass it on to next generations.
Thank you to all brave men and women who liberated Europe from tyranny and brought light in the lives of millions again.
Lest we forget!!
Liberated Europe from Communism?
Thank you, sir
Thanks Kate. It was educational watching you talk with so much passion. And sorry for your loss of you husband Derek ❤️💔
Just very incredible generation..
Thank you all involved with D DAY !
My grandfather James Hope fought in WW2. I honour him today He was South African. 🇿🇦
You will be remembered for what you did that day. GOD meant for you to survive so that you could educate us all with what your fellow soldiers sacrificed that day. Thank you for giving us a future.
What they did save the world. All my grattitude and respect to them all.
Thank you for this amazing story! High praise and many thanks from the USA.
Thank you for showing Americans how to respect and memorialize those who gave all for world freedom .. some of us seem to have forgotten that each man and woman that perished that day carried the hope of the world , and they didn’t drop the ball .. they gave their lives to make sure the game was won! Beautiful ceremonies .. so moving 🙏💙🤍❤️
🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 Thank you.
Bless him
My Dad was in the Royal Artillery. He was a prisoner of war in Germany on D-Day. He would have been 29. This broadcast made me cry. God Bless them all. 🇨🇦
I just cant imagine my 16 year old son going through this! some were even younger! These men are not just hero's they are legends! And Legends never die!
It would be a great honour for him to visit my war movie town.
You have our eternal gratitude. Let us never forget this brave generation.
Un immense et éternel merci à tous.
Forever grateful to those brave young men❤
Excellent writing for this segment 👏🏼
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
❤🙏
Im 33, when i was 11 i did an interview for a school project, we were all given a wwII veteran to speak to. There were so many still around then, so sad to think they will all be gone in another 10 years. That interview stuck with me forever, the sadness he had for lost commrades but the happiness he had seeing me so enthused. I could have listened to him for hours.
Not ten. The youngest of them are late 90s now. The lions are leaving us…
Thank you for being herto remind us of your service and sacrifice. 🫡🇺🇸
I wiil use Churchills words " Never in the field of battle of human conflicts, was so much been owed by so many - to so few". I was there last year and the place is a most for anybody who believe in democracy and and we as a nation was free again after german occupatioon
Not only a hero but a living legend. I wish all of them all the best of health and some peace from what they experienced.
💔💔💔
Merci les amis
Great Show! Thank you so much!
❤😢thank you ❤😢
Dank u wel ❤
God bless them.
Long live the Queen, long live the Queen, we said.
The King George was king.
The troops very unprotected when climbing up the beach. Should’ve had more armour
Research Hobarts Funnies. Among them was the floating tank. Many were launched off LSTs…but were too far out in very strong surf and got swamped, sinking…and taking their crews with them.🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇫🇷🇵🇱
Thank you John.
Merci les Britanniques 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 ❤️
Amen.
Anyone know what those rectangular things out on the beach are?
Not too sure , oyster baskets maybe !!!
Yes you are
World without war and occupation God willing
One of the last real heroes, if only those leaders paying false tribute had a small bit of your bravery they don't ever protect the memorials placed for your sacrifice to remember attacked and defaced through dismantling the borders so many gave and laid down their lives defending
And meanwhile all those spoilt middle class creatures were waving their little gaza flags
Western civilization is dying🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇵🇱…
I hope he realises how grateful we are. Shame his PM doesnt share that sentiment...
Now our PM has got the legacy he always craved.
To all those who volunteered for certain death…………… you are all heroes !
My grandparents thought in the war and now the people that we come from are extinct because of immigration.
🇬🇧
"and some women". . . Really? Did "some women" land on D Day?
I thought a single female war correspondent managed to sneak into a medical team and landed with some stretcher bearers. But she wasn't part of the D Day task force. She was a rule breaking journalist.
I'm not sure any other women landed until weeks later.
If I'm wrong let me know.
the heroes would be turning in the graves if they see what they gave there lives for, we free western Europe to let these things in that are here now
You are 100 percent right my friend, but I sense that change is on the horizon with likes of Nigel Farage and Tommy Morriston
@trevor5526 Yes, it is, and about time to, you can back something into a corner, but don't be surprised when it wants to escape,
She is really enjoying her red coat
Rare is it indeed for me to listen to British Media after their bad treatment of Harry and Meghan.
I made an exception today due to DDay Memorial. So many heroes. So terrible moving. Neither will I listen to or watch Charles and Camilla, who treated Diana so badly. May Britain take responsibility for how Harry and Meghan are treated.
Provide security and a nice home for Prince Harry and his wife FGS!
🇺🇸🫡 🇬🇧
700 miles ? Think that’s a inaccuracy
That red coat does look out of place 😂
To bad the Brits waited so long to do it, being as they were involved before others a lot of heartache for families.
Loved this interview and it all however Camilla is not my queen
The most important thing before death is the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of God
No, my friend.
The most important thing is that you pay tribute to the young heroes that fought and died for you to have the freedom to say that. For your today, they gave their tomorrows. They were Christian, Muslim, Jew, Sikh and non-believers alike, united to stop tyranny and they deserve better than anyone trying to score points when we're remembering them and thanking them for their sacrifice.
All people should respect and understand all other peoples religious faith’s, but to say something like that on a day like this is not the time!

@@davidjones190well said without anger 👍
People are entitled to their own religious beliefs in the West, which is why you have the right to practice yours freely, but at the same time, you need to respect the beliefs of others. As a Brit now living in Thailand, I show respect for their Buddhist culture.
