Happy memories of me performing in Arromanches for the D-Day Commemorations with D-Day Veteran Len Cox in 2012. This is such an important little film as it features so many of our wonderful veterans who are sadly no longer with us. Thank-you for watching and I look forward to singing for you all at the Liberation Ball at Bretteville l' Orgueilleuse! 😉 🎼 🇬🇧 🇫🇷
