A very surreal moment for me today. On this day 79 years ago my grandad was the second man to land on #JunoBeach on #DDay in 1944 with the North Shore NB Regiment.
To put my feet in the very sand on this special day is one I’ll never forget 🙏♥️

80 years ago today my legend Gramps, Cpl EF Roberts of the North Shore New Brunswick Regiment was the second man to land on Juno Beach. He along with thousands of other brave souls stormed the beaches of Normandy. A generation we’ll never see again in this lifetime.
I stood in the very field on the German border in Apr 2011 on the place my gramps was blown up. He said then the Nazis have never died, he said always stand toe to toe with tyranny. Words I personally spoke in front of thousands of people in York on 4th Dec 2021 as once again we the people have been subjected to tyranny.
I feel blessed to have the greatest mentor anyone could ever asked for, and blessed I could put my feet in the sand on the very beach he landed with his brothers in arms.
Never forget what those brave souls did that day and the days after 🙏♥️
