    Post Bill Millin visits Pegasus Bridge...

    The BBC is reporting that Bill Millin will visit Pegasus Bridge this weekend:

    Later around 20 pipers will play as veteran Bill Millin visits the museum at Pegasus Bridge. On D-Day Mr Millin played his brigade ashore with his bagpipes.

    It's a great place.

    But it's not the original bridge actually now in situ but a replacement. The original bridge is now, however, located in a museum nearby.
