A salute to the festival engine room. Fall royalty, Fall publishers and the paramount festival organiser. There was a first class support network too. A fine team effort.

Infantrymen of Le Régiment de la Chaudière moving through Bernières-sur-Mer, France, 6 June 1944.
On 6 June 1944, infantrymen of Le Régiment de la Chaudière moved inland through Bernières-sur-Mer after landing on Juno Beach as part of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division’s assault on D-Day. Unlike many units that went ashore under heavy fire, the Chaudières landed later in the morning, reinforcing the initial waves and pushing into the shattered town behind the beach defences.
Bernières had been turned into a strongpoint by German forces, with houses converted into machine-gun posts and fields sown with mines. By the time the Chaudières entered, much of the immediate resistance had been broken, but the streets still bore the scars of bombardment and combat. Their advance marked the transition from seizing the beachhead to the harder task of moving inland against scattered but determined defenders.
The Chaudières were the only French-speaking battalion to land in Normandy on D-Day, and their presence in Bernières symbolized both Canada’s role in the liberation of France and the contribution of francophone soldiers to the Allied cause. For the regiment, the day was only the beginning of weeks of bitter fighting as the Canadians pushed south toward Caen.
@ChetuniAFC Love it when Arsenal fans talk about oil clubs.. need to look at their shirts and their stadium which are sponsored by (and built with) ‘oil money’ - it’s laughable 😂
(£140m gifted to them in the early 2000’s - nice work if you can get it)
