80 years since D-Day.
80 years since the largest seaborne invasion in history.
80 years since the heroic efforts of those who landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny.
80 years of peace in Western Europe since.
Today we say thank you.
#DDay80
Calm and peaceful 80 years on, in stark comparison to the scenes that unfolded on 6 June 1944.

RIP Ian Lavender and Steve Wright.
Took the van out for a short drive. Really want to thank everyone who made it possible to do this again. Especially Abbi Lewis for arranging everything.

Proof that empathy can triumph: “We are currently living our own miracle on this Island, because we are living in peace, and for all those in Israel and Palestine tonight, it mightn’t seem like it but there’s always hope and we hope your miracle comes soon”https://t.co/aISxEqesYF

“I can face the winter with calm. Crisp and sparkling days, long pleasant evenings, cheery fires. Good work shall be done this winter. Life shall be lived well. The end of the summer is not the end of the world. Here’s to October.” ~A.A.Milne #October#October1#nature

Ah!... Coming home on the last bus after a night out in Bolton town centre. The blue haze of cigarettes, the steamy windows, the tipsy background chatter interrupted by the odd loud cough. And those rough textured seats that made yer bum itch. 😁
Today we are celebrating 75 years of our incredible NHS.
The NHS has provided mental and physical health care
to people for the last 75 years and we couldn’t be more
proud of the work we do.
“It's me. It's you. It's us. It's our NHS, in Lancashire and
South Cumbria.” #NHS75

As you enjoy your dinner tonight, as you look at your family, think back 80 years when 133 young men took to the skies.
53 #Dambusters were killed this night. & 3 PoW.
Only 48 of that 133 would survive WW2.
The sacrifice of Bomber Command across the war is unrivalled.
RIP gents.
Current estimates suggest that the #Coronation will cost 100-150 million & the govt are spending £8m on copies of a portrait.
Imagine if #KingCharlesIII spent half of that on helping to find a cure for cancer, what a legacy that would be.
