The memories and reflections of seven men - Richard Dimbleby, Chester Wilmot, Maurice Brown, Robert Dunnett, Colin Wills, Joel O'Brien, and Stanley Maxted - who were present at the invasion of France on June 6, 1944, and who have since revisited the beaches and battlefields of Normandy
Programme edited and produced by Maurice Brown
In writing and recording our memories and thoughts of D-Day and the days that followed it, we have tried to speak for everybody who was there; by recording our tears and laughs, our actions and mistakes, we hope we have reflected the experiences of many.
To revisit is enheartening: Normandy has made a mighty recovery, but above all, as Colin Wills so aptly puts it at the end of our broadcast, 'it is also good to encounter the living sense of shared memory, a shared experience, a sympathy between those who waited and those who came ashore on June 6 five years ago.' - Maurice Brown
