Paying my respects to my late father and to his fellow British who made last stand at Arnhem at the old church in Oosterbeek 80 years ago. This is the most moving place I have been as a Brit in Europe.

Can’t wait to be tomorrow where All American legend T. Moffatt Burriss led first wave of Americans across Waal River at Nijmegen 80 years ago. He was a wonderful guy. On my left! WWII Memorial Friends
