After 10 consecutive years, D-Day Revisited will be making its final trip to Normandy to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in June 2019.
We are pleased to invite Normandy veterans and a companion to join us on our 75th anniversary veterans’ visit to France. This trip will run from 1st-9th of June 2019 and we have made provision to take a group of 100 people from across the country.

We have built a hard-working support team of volunteers who go out of their way to ensure the journey and the stay in France is as comfortable as possible for all veterans and their companions and their companions. This includes a core team of volunteer medics from the Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps (QARANC) and two General Practitioners who will all be on hand in case any medical assistance is required.
Our volunteers all share the same passion for the veteran community and consider it a real privilege to be able to share this experience with so many ladies and gentlemen who took part in the Normandy Campaign.
