Скачать или смотреть Humour, Jokes, Pleasantries and Witticisms in Brighton, England

The train ride from London took an hour-and-a-half to the seaside resort of Brighton in the south coast of England overlooking the English Channel.

I was going on a historical pilgrimage to where the heat of battle, or thereabouts, took place during the Second World War. Once there I imagined how the Allied forces began the invasion of Normandy as Brighton is one of the cities facing France across the channel.

Now, I'm revisiting that moment in May 2014, the 70th year of the June 1944 Allied landings leading to the defeat of Hitler's Germany. A commemorative concert was scheduled. That day I walked around the seashore, trying to feel how it was then. But there were pleasant distractions - the beachgoers, the shops, restaurants, souvenir stores that were just irresistible.
