Normandy tours for more D-Day veterans

Thanks to the media’s support we’ve managed to find four times more veterans for this year’s tours to Normandy than we ever have before.
This year, we shall be running a further five trips, which have now started and will run until September.

All of these tours of remembrance have been enabled by the Treasury thanks to LIBOR fines, which pay for a veteran, carer and a member of the family to join a tour free of charge.
Once again, thanks so much for helping us spread the word about these vital tours. Thanks to you Normandy veterans – now mostly in their 90s – will get the chance to pay respects to their fallen comrades, perhaps for the last time.
