D-Day Anniversary

May 22, 2024
22 May 2024

On Thursday 6th June, from 10:30am – 3:30pm, Care UK’s Hartismere Place, on Castleton Way, is welcoming local people to honour the 80th anniversary of D-Day with its very own lamp lighting ceremony.

To commemorate the Normandy Landings on 6th June 1944, Care UK is partnering with royal pageant master Bruno Peek, CVO OBE OPR, coordinator of ‘D-Day 80 Lamp Light of Peace’. Along with charities supporting the three forces and the Merchant Navy Association, over 100 Care UK homes will take part in this nationwide tribute.

At Hartismere Place, the team have been hard at work organising a special commemorative event which will see residents and guests enjoy a 1940s-themed party, complete with military vehicles, sandbags, camouflage netting, and popular wartime songs from Caprice Duo.

Team members will be dressed in wartime clothes, supplied by Gillings of Diss, and the culinary team will serve a delicious wartime menu from a WW2 cookbook, which will be served out of a NAAFI Wagon. There will also be a quiz hosted by the 490th bomb squadron and a reminiscence session, where families are invited to bring photos and memorabilia along.

The lamp, which represents the peace that followed the end of World War Two, will be lit at 9:00pm by the mayor, Tunie Brandon.

Myra Wildmum, 96, said: “I was 16 when D-Day happened, and I remember it clearly. I think it’s brilliant that we’re celebrating D-Day and that we must not let the younger generation forget the sacrifice all those people that served during the war made.

“All of those people that lost their lives must always be remembered and honoured because if it wasn’t for them the world would be a very different place.”

Claire Martin, Home Manager at Hartismere Place, said: “Here at Hartismere Place, we’re passionate about playing an active role in our community, so we’re delighted to be joining a nationwide initiative by opening our doors to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

“Reminiscence activities are a great way for older people, and those living with dementia, to connect with those around them and help maintain a sense of identity, and in the run up to the day, residents have been sharing their own stories and memories – it’s been fantastic to hear everyone’s experiences and learn from one another.

National Grid has launched its latest public consultation on plans for a new high-voltage power line across East Anglia, including Mid Suffolk and Babergh.

The public consultation events in our area are:

  • Tuesday 11 July, 11am-4pm at Blackbourne Community Centre, Blackbourne Road, Elmswell.
  • Wednesday 19 July, 2pm-7pm – Copdock Village Hall, Old London Road, Copdock.

There are also consultation webinars on July 5 (1-2pm), July 25 (7-8pm), August 12, 17 (both 10-11am). For more details visit the National Grid website.
