Thanks to all those who risked and sacrificed so much to enable that day. And to those who fought on that day and in the many days that followed - wherever they came from and whatever the motivations of their Governments may have been.

Thanks must be also due to those on the Eastern Front, without those sacrifices the massed invasion of Europe, would not have been even conceivable.

All these deserve far more credit from us all, than we generally give them.

Thanks.
