Between the 25th and 27th July, Jo Churchill MP took part in the D-Day memorial tour of Normandy, as hosted by the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Armed Forces. The three day tour sought to highlight the events that took place and commemorate the lives lost.
Mrs Jo Churchill MP said: “To understand our futures, we must understand the events and implications of the decisions taken in the past. The visits to the beaches, Pegasus Bridge and the graves, were an especially moving and poignant experience that unearthed stories of exceptional courage.”
The tour also included a visit to the Bayeux Tapesty and Merville Gun Battery.
