Paid a visit to Omaha beach today, still hot weather. Sad to think what happened here all those years ago.

Did you visit the museum at the side of Arromanche square?
If not you missed a god one.
One of the many schools I took there had a Polish teacher due for retirement and he had told me of some of his D Day exploits. When I informed one of the attendants there he collared the Curator who came and spoke with us. Turned out that the Polish guy was one of their missing heroes. Within minutes all the town dignatries arrived and a medal was presented to the Polish teacher.

Can't quite match that. 32.5c showing right now on my S8, parked in the shade in Buckinghamshire.
