Showing the Brits More Love

A more recent plaque of appreciation thanks the British 56th Infantry Brigade for their part in the liberation of Bayeux during WWII. Every year on the anniverary of D-Day the British return to Bayeux, the city the liberated in the early hours of the Normandy invasion. While the Germans fought bitterly to hold onto nearby Caein, Bayeux was freed so quickly the Germans didn't get the chance to do much damage to the historic city. On the 6th of June the British Legion holds a remembrance service in Bayeux Cathedral starting at 1015, and later at noon, the Royal British Legion National holds a service of remembrance at the Bayeux Cemetery. All services are open to the public. (as per Wikipedia)
