Thank you Bill Millin.
You will be missed.
I have been to Pegasus Bridge, it is great the French have not forgotten the things that happened there.

I recall the nod they gave him at the 60th anniversary of D-Day. A Lancaster flying overhead, and a piper on every hill in the background. I still have goosebumps.
