    I’m a great grandad, and can happily say…..Wow, what super children, so well behaved despite their young ages and that long journey. And what a lovely family. A credit to your country and most welcome to ours.
    I’m born and bred, and live just up the coast by a few miles from Lakenheath. If at any time I can be of service to you, it would be a pleasure.
    Enjoy your time here, and God bless you all :)

    Have fun!! I’m from Lakenheath town I met my husband who was then stationed at raf Lakenheath base. I’ve just moved to Florida been here 2 months. We’ve been together 3 years married for 1 month and have a 2 year old daughter. Watching this makes me miss home so much!!!

    Just found this. Welcome to the UK. What a great family. If you ever find yourselves in Dorset in the South West (the scenery is outstanding), pop into the Castletown D-Day Centre. It's a little bit of America in the UK. Dedicated to the 1st Inf Div, 29 Inf Div and Rangers that left from here for bloody Omaha. I really hope you enjoy your stay in the UK :-) From an ex-RAF veteran.

    RAF Lakenheath is a amazing place! My friends dad is RAF Police there and I went on base once! It's unreal compared to English Cities/Towns. It almost doesn't feel like England! It's mostly the shops that give that feeling of "Woah this is strange?" As they mostly sell American foods. Love it! (I also love the life size jet models. My fav life size model plane there is probably the F-15E or the F-4 Phantom or the Spitfire and the memorial. They all were amazing to see!) Enjoy living in RAF Lakenheath it sounds amazing!

      Plenty to see and do in East Anglia. Ely cathedral and Oliver Cromwell's house are down the road. Cambridge and Norwich arelovely cities. The Norfolk Broads are worth exploring. The royal residence at Sandringham is down the road and so is Walsingham, home to a medieval shrine. On the Suffolk coast you'll find the village of Orford, home to a 12th century castle and Orford Island which is now open to the public. Atomic weapons research was carried out there. It's very eerie and desolate.
