On This Day
77 years ago today, codenamed Operation Overlord, the battle known as D-Day, began. 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France's Normandy region. Prior to D-Day, the Allies conducted a large-scale deception campaign designed to mislead the Germans about the intended invasion target, with fake landing craft and other military equipment around Felixstowe were used for this purpose. By late August 1944, all of northern France had been liberated, and by the following spring the Allies had defeated the Germans.Today's Felixstowe sunrise: 04:37

Sunday reflection:
O eternal Lord God, who alone spreadest out the heavens and rulest the raging of the sea; who hast compassed the waters with bounds until day and night come to an end: Be pleased to receive into thy almighty and most gracious protection the persons of us thy servants and the Fleet in which we serve.
