On behalf of the village, Cawood Parish Council is honoured to organise a beacon lighting to be able to take part in the national commemorations on June 6th marking 80 years since D Day.
At 9:15 we will have a beacon lighting ceremony with local residents representing the land, sea and air services. Retired Brigadier John McKeown; Retired Squadron Leader Mike Verrill and Royal Navy veteran Ray Swan will be helping light the beacon and lay preacher Jean Huby will say the national words of remembrance.
From 8: 45 pm, the Jolly Ukes of Cawood will play tunes from the era to set the scene.
Everyone is welcome to come together as a community to pay tribute to the events of the “longest day” which helped turn the tide of World War ll, launching the liberation of Europe.
