I don’t normally sign internet petitions but this one hit a nerve ,,,!

My late father and many souls like him was on the Normandy beaches on the 6th June ‚44

I commented:-

Father was on Gold on the 6th June ‘44 He was a 22 year old and the war had a lasting effect until the day he eventually died a few years ago - his youth and many more was robbed by war. Have the concert on another date - if it must be on any of the beaches NOT on the 6th of June Totally disrespectful to the memory of the thousands of men who died. . The organisers and any who perform should hang their heads in shame!

Signed that one Ron.

I don't have an issue with the event, just the location!

My father was in an excluded occupation - he was an electrical engineer at Battersea Power Station and on shift when it got bombed. His Canadian cousin was a Navigator in a Lancaster that went missing in 1944 - so near, but yet so far.

I have the utmost respect for both of them.

Signed Ron Completely disrespectful and inappropriate to hold a concert in that location and on that day. :thumbsdown:
