My ex-father-in-law hit the beaches 80 years ago today with 11 other young men from around his village in North Essex, only 5 of them made it off the beach. 3 made it to peace time. |  |

Been watching the BBC commemorations all morning. Been a beautiful watch. I have been to Minturno in Italy to see a relatives grave who died during WW2. |  |

True story, the chap at the front in the middle photo, is the grandfather of someone I know. He is a spitting image of him too. |  |

Incredibly brave men (or teens in some instances!) to do what they did and it is probably still an understatement.
Forever thankful and indebted to their service. |  | | |

My great uncle drove a DUKW amphibious lorry on D-day and transported men and cargo from ship to shore. He was one of the lucky ones that came home.
He basically drove a truck across Europe for the rest of the war and was at Auschwitz by the time the war ended.
He died January 2006 at nearly 80. I knew him as a kind and gentle man. |  | | |
