WWII veterans will have their travel overseas for Normandy and Arnhem commemorations covered by the government.
First Sea Lord General Sir Gwyn Jenkins told @GBNEWS that the funding would demonstrate βhow importantβ veterans are to British society.

One of my favourite cities in the Netherlands, #Deventer on the IJssel. Much of the iconic 1977 movie A Bridge Too Far, telling the story of the Battle of Arnhem, was filmed in Deventer as the Wilhelmina Bridge closely resembled the Arnhem Rhine Bridge in 1944. @ukinnl π¬π§ π³π±
