Town and Parish Councils encouraged to become involved in D-Day 80

You may have individuals within your local community that could have been involved in some way in the D-Day landings on 6th June 1944 and WWII as a whole. This event provides them with an opportunity to pay their tribute to those that gave so much to ensure we all enjoy the freedom we share today.

An updated Guide to Taking Part is now available. Those councils wishing to become involved are asked to go to page 33 of the Guide, and send the information requested so the D-Day Event organisers can communicate directly over the forthcoming months.
