I feel like it's becoming more of a almost like a G20 thing because apparently they invited the Ukrainian president and Putin and the Ukrainian president met briefly. I think that's quite appropriate really considering you know the terrible things that happened here 70 years ago and how it should have been avoided if possible. The context is this terrible things happened and let's try and prevent it happening ever again so I'm glad that Putin and the Ukraine leader are here.
Friday 6 June this year was the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy. My Grandad Dennis was one of the soldiers who landed on the beach that day. Along with thousands of other men he risked his life to fight the Nazis in the 2nd World War. Many of his fellow soldiers did not survive. Last Friday I went to Caen in Northern France to take part in the D-Day commemorations and to see my comedy hero Eddie Izzard performing stand-up in 3 languages. I recorded a podcast during my trip, and some unexpected things happened! Listen to the episode to join me on my adventure.
