Congratulations
who today will receive the Légion d'honneur medal in a ceremony involving the Mayor and Mayoress of Colchester and Colonel Vincent Tassel, French Liaison Officer to the British Army’s Chief of the General Staff.
The medal has now been awarded to almost all the veterans of the D Day landings for their role in the liberation of France during World War 2.
On the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, 6 June 2014, President Hollande of France announced that all British soldiers involved were eligible for the Legion d'Honneur.
I hope you enjoyed the day Tony and this well deserved recognition.
