Pegasus Beach Ceremonies

Pegasus Beach Centre is a museum dedicated to the para troopers that landed near there on D-Day 1944.  We saw fly overs and para trooper drops and saw the wooden gliders used as part of the offensive. 

Really brought it home to us. There was a formal dedication that day so the place was mobbed!

Gliders litter the landscape on D-Day, 1944.

A glider to peek into , made of plywood!

Tributes to the paratroopers who lost their lives. All flowers.

This plane dropped the paratroopers.  Large parts  of Normandy were a no fly zone during this week as only vintage planes were flying.

Spitfire escorts for the bombers.

On the tee shirts " I am a child of freedom, mercie chere veterans".
