Emotional journey: Gwen Williams her husband, brother, sister-in-law and sister went on holiday to France and Belgium. They explored Paris, Normandy and Belgium and visited Vimy Ridge, an incredible monument to memory of the fallen soldiers. Another place was Ypres, Belgium shown here with her brother with the Mirror. They also went to Juno Beach where their father and uncles landed on D-Day along with many others during WWII. It is also the gravesite of one uncle who lost his life during the days following D-Day. It was an emotional and wonderous journey walking through so much history everywhere. And the Campbell River Mirror travelled with them all along the journey.
