I took part in the Big Battlefield Bike Ride last year in support of Help for Heroes to commemorate the end of the first world war.  I enjoyed the experience so much I have signed up to take part in it again in 2019.  This time it is to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day landings and we will be visiting each beach in Normandy.  This will be even more poignant to me as next year will also mark the 20th Anniversary of losing my father who was in the Navy during the conflict.
