Laxfield Bell Ringers will be joining the countrywide initiative to get as many Church Bells ringing on 6th June 6:30pm to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings.
The 6th of June 2024 marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, when Allied forces mounted the largest amphibious invasion the world has ever witnessed. In 1944, Operation Overlord saw over 5,000 ships and landing craft set down more than 130,000 troops on five Normandy beaches in an action that would bring about the liberation of north-west Europe.
