On this day in 1066, England's King Harold II slaughters 6,000 Vikings (along with his own outlaw brother) at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Days later he'll quick march his army 250 miles south to intercept William of Normandy near Hastings. It doesn't go well.

@Nickleh I think this is the con that pops up every year with a new name, they look to tell people there are no memorials in the CI and ask for funds.

[D-Day Center @DDayCenter]

Not blown away by the new extension to the Overlord Museum. Extra space mainly devoted to bigger gift shop and admin space. Do like the fact they have one of the few black mannequins among #DDay museums in #Normandy. The #AfricanAmerican role oftern overlooked. #DDay75Anniversary
