Commemorations held to mark D-Day 80th anniversary

Arlette Gondrée, whose house at Pegasus Bridge was the first to be liberated on D-Day, said “the memories are kept on” of the RUR veterans who would come to her cafe.

“I want to emphasise the task of the RUR at Longueval because they had many casualties,” she said.

“They used to come back, very many of them, and then it was shrinking and they used to come and we had a lovely time with their piper.

”During their lifetime they put a plaque inside the cafe to the Ulster Rifles regiment of which I’m very proud.”

Romain Bail, the mayor of Ouistreham, told BBC News NI that 6 June is a more important anniversary in Normandy than Bastille Day.

“This is my duty, a part of my life, my identity,” he said.
