"Having worked with other tour companies on this trip in the past I found Anglia organised, efficient and friendly. I would certainly use them again. I am told that the teenage boys we took spent the whole of the next day telling their parents about it - more communication than most had in a week."
— St Columba’s College

Operation Overlord as the Normandy Landings of June 1944 were known, remains the largest and most ambitious military operation ever staged. Its success was crucial to the Allied advance on Berlin and paved the way for their eventual victory in the Second World War.
