On this day, 6th June, 1944............

.... my father went on a trip to Sword Beach in Normandy with some of his friends in the Royal Marine Commandos. He was 20 years old at the time. A proud and poignant time for all in his family as the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings is remembered.

The berets of the RM Commandos in the thick of it. There's one face there that looks suspiciously like my dad but that would be too much of a coincidence to be true.
