65 years ago Allied troops parachuted into drop zones and landed on the beaches of Normandy in France at what was the start of one of the biggest operations in military history.
Some of the young men who took part in this operation, an operation that was known as D-Day, left behind on the beaches and in the fields and countryside of this beautiful part of France not only their youth but in many cases many of their friends.
On the 65th anniversary of D-Day over a thousand of the veterans returned to catch up with old friends, chat and reminisce about their experiences and remember their fallen comrades. For many, this could be their final opportunity to visit as the years finally catch up with them, but one thing that shines through when you speak with these individuals is that, despite the hardships and dangers involved during that historic time they remain proud and honourable men.
