I do not know if this was on your news but thousands of Brits turned up to pay tribute to the brave American airmen.

Thanks for sharing that John, that was great to see.

Those 10 men were part of the "Friendly Invasion" by US Army air Forces during WWII...

I think that man's dedication to their memory and the memorial is quite remarkable. Such devotion is seldom seen today.
