Residents from The Haven and Memory Café came together in a heart warming celebration to honour the remarkable D-Day Landings of World War II. The national dish of fish and chips was served, evoking cherished memories over a delicious meal.

The talented singer Nicki Pearce graced us with her beautiful voice, serenading the room with beloved tunes that transported us back in time. Residents joyfully sang along, waving flags and taking to the dancefloor in high spirits. It was a poignant moment, remembering both fond memories and absent friends, with a few tears shed in reflection.

As we commemorated the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord – the largest combined naval, air and land campaign in history – we paid tribute to the brave soldiers who united for this pivotal operation. The incredible afternoon allowed us to honour their immense courage and sacrifice through shared stories, jovial singing and amazing company. We felt deep gratitude resonating throughout the room.

The event truly captured the resilient spirit of that era, filling our hearts with pride for those who served. It was an afternoon brimming with reminiscence, companionship and respect for the heroes of D-Day.
