Saturday was the 65th anniversary of the end of the 2nd World War.
We went to the mayor's at 1130 for the the short walk to the church for a minutes silence and a brief speech of thanks to all that gave their lives.
Then back to the Village hall for a drink, where a village veteran aged 94 received a medal from the commune for his service in the resistance.
Apparently he was hiding two British airman in the local bar which was owned from 1938-45 by a chap called Rene and his wife Edith!
OK..I made the last bit up!
