🏴 I wasn’t alive for 1990 or 1996, so until something tops it, this was THE summer for me. 2021 was fantastic reaching the final with the country coming out of Covid, 2022 saw England play the best under Southgate, and 2024, another final but it felt fortunate. 2018 was the one though, what a time 🤩#England
Eighty-two years ago today, the fate of the free world turned on the courage of ordinary men asked to do the extraordinary.
On June 6, 1944, more than 156,000 Allied soldiers crossed the English Channel and stormed the beaches of Normandy — many knowing they might never return.
They came not for glory, but for something far greater: the liberation of a continent crushed under tyranny. D-Day was not simply a military operation — it was the moment the tide of history changed, purchased at an almost incomprehensible cost in blood and sacrifice.
As we mark the 82nd anniversary, we don’t simply remember a battle. We remember the men behind it — their fear, their faith, and their extraordinary willingness to give everything so that others could live free. That debt does not expire with time. It only deepens.
