Churchill invites local veterans and over 60s to D-Day 80th Anniversary event in Hitchin 

Churchill Retirement Living is calling for local people, especially armed services veterans and their friends and family, to join in with a special event in the lead-up to the 80th Anniversary of D-Day.

Organisers say everyone is welcome to join Churchill apartment owners to raise a glass and commemorate the 80th anniversary of this historic and decisive moment in the Second World War.

Visitors will enjoy a warm welcome, free refreshments, and an opportunity to share memories with like-minded people in the comfort of the development's comfortable Owners' Lounge. 

Churchill's Marketing Manager Tunji Quadri says: "Our D-Day commemoration event is the perfect opportunity for local people to come and mark the anniversary of this huge moment in our history.

"We'd love to welcome anyone with interesting memories to share about the war, whether they experienced it first-hand or have a family member who played a part, it's a time to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we all enjoy today."

The event will take place on Thursday 9th May from 2-4pm at Dovehouse Lodge on Wratten Road.
