    Does anyone know any sites in english which keep track of what events concerning D-Day will take place this year?

    By the way, if you're in Normandy in May and June and visiting The Utah Beach Museum, do come and say hello. I will be trying to make myself useful at the museum in this period :)

    Hi,
    A good site is this one D-Day : Normandie 1944 : Cérémonies 2013

    Updated on a regular basis.

    Regards

    Danny

    Thanks Danny. That's the site I used when I was there in 2011. Couldn't find it for some reason though! Thanks again.

    You can also try Bayeux-Bessin Tourisum. Last year I was told by the D-day committee that there main events would be at Juno Beach, there will be a event at Collevllie-Montgomery on the 8th which includes unvelling a statue of Bill Millin. You can also try Normandie Memoire and www.dday-overlord.com . The picture is my father outside Bayeux tourist office with his image on the poster.:)
