About the event

The 6th of June 2024 marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, when Allied forces mounted the largest amphibious invasion the world has ever witnessed.

We will be raising money and commemorating the 80th anniversary of D- Day before the beacon is lit at 9:15pm

7pm start time with fish and chip supper 

According to legend, British soldiers storming the Normandy beaches on D-Day would identify each other by yelling out, “Fish,” and waiting for the barely coded response, “Chips.”

War time music from 7:45pm from the fantastic Claire Louise till 8:45pm 

Then all to walk down to watch the beacon be lit in remembrance of the D Day landing
