Super pleased to be going to the DDay Commemorations in Arromanches on the 5th and 6th June 2022. Will be the Standard Bearer for the Merchant Navy. Been nominated to the Board of the Royal Navy Veterans Association in France. Means a lot, for historical family reasons.

Looking forward to taking part, representing the British Merchant Navy, alongside the Royal Navy and SOE-F Section. Spitfire, Hurricanes and Patrouille de France Flypast will join us from the skies. A Commemorative Concert
13 Avenue Paul Poret, 14114, Ver-sur-MerWith a programme of music featuring Sons of the Brave, Band of Brothers, and the always rousing Highland Cathedral, this is an event not to be missed! There will be a moment of remembrance with a traditional rendition of the Last Post followed by Reveille. This is a free event hosted by the Normandy Memorial Trust. LINK 1Please note: the Memorial site will be open to the general public all day on Monday 6 June, and indeed on the days preceding and following the anniversary, should you wish to visit at a different time. For enquiries: LINK 2  The Merchant Navy Association, The Merchant Navy Association (Wales), The Merchant Navy Association (Wales) Barry branch and many more both thank Caroline and hold a great respect for her. I am proud to both know and liaise with this special lady regarding the many of the Merchant Navy lost to this world in and out of conflict and with no known grave but the sea. K.
