When Sophie in Year 8 asked if her grandad, Ian Gordon could come into school and talk to the class about his involvement as a sailor in the Normandy Landings, of course I agreed.
Having recently visited Arromanches and the 360 degree cinema as part of our trip to Brittany, the timing was perfect and it was fascinating to hear a personal account from someone who had been involved in the operation himself.
Thanks to Sophie for the suggestion and to Ian for sharing his experiences with us today. It was greatly appreciated.
