Moments of solemn remembrance and outpourings of gratitude at the unvieling of a bench dedicated to the York Normandy Veterans in York Station on the 79th Anniversary of D-Day. Ken Cooke was present, along with a large audience. @NickBeilby1 @stephen_spc
One of our veterans Dennis Haydock, who passed away in 2016, might have enjoyed listening to this - he was stationed in the tank encampment at Duncombe Park, Helmsley, just prior to #DDay.

It is with great sadness that we learn of the death of a friend of the Museum, Normandy Veteran Sid Metcalfe, at the age of 99. Sid landed on Sword Beach on D-Day. He was captured by German forces and became a prison of war He passed away yesterday evening in York hospital.
Sid was always full of enthusiasm and charm; it's difficult to believe that he's no longer with us. I'm sure I speak for all who knew him, when I say that he will be dearly missed.

So glad we got to record Sid's memories for him and it was such an honour and privilege to work with this wonderful gentleman during the pandemic. He will be very much missed.

Tonight 6.30 we are taking part in a #RemembranceDay service at St Lawrence Church, York. All welcome.
Wow, we can't believe its two years this week since we were getting ready to release our audio version of #WW2 play "Bomb Happy" telling first hand accounts of #DDay by @YorkWW2DDayVets during lockdown for #RemembranceSunday. You can listen again here: youtube.com/watch?v=JF8PUY…
Looking for something to read this November, #Remembrance month? How about the first hand accounts of five of our Normandy Veterans in #WW2? "Bomb Happy", by Helena Fox, is published by Methuen waterstones.com/book/bomb-happ…
It's a year since our Performed Walk In The Park telling the true life story of #WW2 veteran, Hank Haydock. We've since been commissioned to turn it into a short film for @helmsleyarts & spent today with @inkblotfilms filming in the beautiful shade of the #Ryedale countryside!
This morning Ken Cooke (left) paid tribute to the late Ken Smith (right) a veteran of Hill 112 in Normandy. We stood on that ground together many times, today the fields were empty of Ken, except in spirit. Such men, we owe them so much.

How easily we forget what ordinary French people have done for British veterans over many decades, and in the aftermath of war they hosted the families of those who travelled to Normandy to visit a loved ones grave.
Very sad to see all these negative comments posted on social media about the French in relation to a creperie at Omaha beach. I have only found the local people to be very accommodating, grateful for our presence and happy to help. I’ve met so many french people over the years…
