Pegasus Bridge

My favourite is always Pegasus Bridge where again at mid day the survivors of John Howard's Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light infantry gather to march over the bridge they captured in the first operation of D-day. Every year less of them make it to Normandy and this year only five were able to make the pilgrimage. The British Army flew an Apache Helicopter low over the bridge in tribute.
After their ceremony the 7th Airborne march to the other side of the bridge for a short service and laying of wreaths.
