Bigsby Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 If she does get an invite now she should tell them to stick it RIGHT UP THEIR ARSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm pretty sure that if the Queen had intended and wanted to attend this thing, no one in this country or any other could have stopped her.The fact that she isn't going means she decided that she wouldn't attend for whatever reason.

TelecasterSam Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Prince Charles is apparently going in her stead.....She was there, as I remember, for the 50th anniversary (15 year ago) .... cos I was there too....playing my Pipes on the beach at Arromanches......St Mere Eglize.....and Pegasus Bridge....and the British cemetary at Ranville, plus other places.(I was very proud to do so.... and it was so moving) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Scott Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I really wish I was able to get out to this - my grandfather fought in D-Day. Have his handwritten account of it and it's a lot more terrifying than anything I've seen in film form... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 That sounds very interesting!! My Dad arrived on D-Day plus 4.....he has quite a few stories, but never goes into the gorier details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
