Huge gratitude to all that fought in WW2. Im 50 and fear what life in the UK would have been like for my generation without your service to this Nation 🇬🇧🙏🇬🇧🙏

Rest in peace British 🇬🇧 and Commonwealth and our Allies soldiers. We will never forget you.❤
Long live the Pathfinder UK! So proud of all! We will never forget comrades!
Dad was there.
Great video thanks for the upload
My friend Walter McKenzie was there
Decades ago, I saw an outstanding interview with Samuel Fuller, the movie director, about his reminiscences of Omaha Beach - it was intercut with scenes from his unflinching film "The Big Red One", based on his own war memories. Fuller in 1980 achieved what was probably the most honest recreation of the D-Day landings on the feature film screen prior to Saving Private Ryan fifteen years later. I was sixteen and on my first extended visit to France when I caught that interview on the TV, almost by chance; it was the first time I had really seen someone talking in those personal terms about his memories of a major WW2 battle, and the memory stayed with me forever.
Bless them all, for the bravery and outstanding courage. True heroes everyone of them.
Really looking forward to it in 48 hours time and my emotions are prepared mentally
It sickens me that our government will feign respect and thanks to these heroes and to the sacrifices they made, so that we may enjoy the freedoms that are being slowly taken from us.
Because of work and other things I was going to go but I am going sometime in late July or August 2024
80 years ago

Well done fellas and thank you your memory's will for ever live on and we will be forever thankful. I can honestly say 4 generations of my family was in both wars 1 and 2 should a third start up I will be the 5th generation to see it through and stand for my country.
Bless the lot of em…..really proud that Pompey will be a big part of the celebrations
It is right and proper, of course, to remember the D Day landings, but would the landings have been possible if most of the German Army had not been fighting the Russians on the Eastern Front? The Russians have a point in believing their struggle against the Nazis - a struggle in which about 30 to 40 Soviets died for every British or American - has never been acknowledged properly in the West. And the fact must be acknowledged that the Soviet Union was mostly responsible for the defeat of Hitler, though of course Stalin seems to have been at least as evil as Hitler.
The war in Europe was started by the USSR and Germany as they went about implementing their agreement to occupy their neighbours. Actually, they were still allies when the Battle of Britain was taking place in the summer and fall of 1940.
