Today marks the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, when Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy and began the liberation of Western Europe.

Much has been written about the soldiers, sailors and airmen who took part in that historic operation, and rightly so. Their courage and sacrifice helped shape the world we live in today.

What is less well known is that many of them did not serve alone.

Among the thousands of Allied personnel involved were military working dogs. Some were trained to carry messages between units. Others were used to detect mines and explosives, locate enemy positions or stand guard over their handlers during some of the most dangerous moments of the war.

One of the most famous was an Alsatian named Bing, who parachuted into Normandy alongside British troops in the early hours of 6 June 1944. Despite being injured during the operation, he continued to serve throughout the campaign and would later be awarded the Dickin Medal for gallantry.

Like the men they served alongside, these animals faced dangers they could never fully understand. They didn't know where they were going, why they were there or what was waiting for them. They simply trusted their handlers and carried out the tasks they had been trained to do.

It's a reminder that throughout history, service animals have stood beside those in uniform during some of humanity's darkest moments. Their contribution is often overlooked, but it should never be forgotten.

Today, as we remember those who took part in D-Day and the wider war effort, it's worth sparing a thought for the four-legged heroes who served alongside them.

Lest we forget.

@NormanBrennan Not unless the changes happen in Government first, then cascade downwards.

@jdpoc @DogmumDevon Jimmy Saville was never prosecuted, so, by your reasoning, he is innocent?

Angela Rayner has moaned that her 29-year-old son Ryan Batty, who is married with a young child, has “no opportunity at the moment to buy a property” because he works long hours on a low income,

she even acts as his rent guarantor and helps with bills, claiming the system is rigged against hard-working Gen Z,

yet the same Angela Rayner just splashed out on an £800,000 holiday flat in Hove,

this is the woman who resigned as Deputy PM last year after being caught underpaying stamp duty on that very same property,

she’s also pocketed £49,000 in speaking fees since leaving government while preaching about fairness for young families,

Labour MPs have now done more to protect Keir Starmer than they’ve done to protect British farmers, veterans, pensioners, taxpayers, women and girls or Chagos.

They deserve the Labour bloodbath on May 7th.

One of his best yet! Enjoy the ridiculousness that is the English language.

Guaranteed laughs. Especially at the end.

Enjoy!

Quick fix for the welfare budget.
IF YOU ARE NOT BRITISH, NO BENEFITS.
IF YOU ARE NOT BRITISH, NO NHS.
IF YOU ARE NOT BRITISH, NO LEGAL AID.
There you go, fixed it. 👍🏻🇬🇧
