As part of our trip to Normandy this year we again visited the US Cemetery at Colleville-Sur-Mer.
The new visitors centre is open and well worth a visit.
We arrived on the Monday after Memorial Day in time to see the French and US flags flying on everyone of the graves.
Every flag was precisly positioned.
The weather turned wet again so we shortened our visit and planned to return later in the week.
We visited again on the Wednesday to find that they had all been taken down.
The time and patience that had been given to put these up and take them down again goes to show the vast amount of respect that is placed on the sacrifice of the lives of those remebered at the cemetery.
Here are a few photos of our visit, I hope that you like them.
I have more and will upload them later.
