D-Day 70th Anniversary: June 6, 2014

[Valerie Rose]

What name did The Prince of Wales give the bell during the service at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Bayeux?

The Tablet - News

part of which reads:
"Prince Charles, representing the Queen, named the bell Thérèse-Bénedicte after St. Thérèse-Bénedicte of the Cross. St Thérèse, born Edith Stein, was a Jewish philosopher and convert who died at Auschwitz."

Edith Stein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A beautiful tribute to her.

Just always haved loved grand duke jean and never knew of his service. It is not a contest, if she could have, I have no doubt hm would have stormed the beaches. She was guest of honor, also, to belabor a point, shre is getting recognition for her advanced age , not fair but many are finally realizing that the odds that she will be around are lower . Nice to see max and Mathilda together and that max gave baba a a much needed laugh

 

[Queen Camilla]

Loved Camilla with the veterans.

The wicked sense of humor of Queen Elizabeth II as she is preventing Camilla from taking some of Prince Charles' papers.
