Plymouth, where most of the D Day invasion craft left from
The Met Office confirmed the weather for the invasion.
Ergo...the orchestral version of the theme to the Longest Day 😄

May I just point out please that the scoring of Military Bands and Brass Bands are totally different.
Holst wrote these suites for military scored bands which is what we can hear. The BBC once had a Military Band! When in need,call for the reed!

It appears that the @RAFAssociation
Think that there was no British involvement in Victory over Japan...Why??

[Graham Bandy 🌳 @LMHistory]

@RAFAssociation Is this purely for the US market??

[Graham Bandy 🌳 @LMHistory]

@RAFAssociation RAF Association?? Are you sure you're not the USAAF Association?? Why are all the badges US ones?? Was Britain not involved in the Far East??

@Ianskellyradio3 @BBCRadio3 The Royal Sussex was the tune from 1759...

@Ianskellyradio3 @BBCRadio3 I think you'll find that "The Royal Sussex" was the official Regimental March of the Regiment.
Although played by the Royal Sussex Regt, and sung by the Soldiers in a bawdy version in ww1
Sussex By The Sea was not the Regimental March. A tune from Quebec in 1759!
