48 years ago today, de Gaulle broadcast on the BBC from London to the French where ever they were, exhorting them not to accept defeat but to resist. In commemoration, there was the usual procession from the Mairie to the war memorial to lay a wreath and then an apéro at the bar on the main road. Christian was whisked away in a 2WW jeep at4.30pm to attend another ceremony but this one is being rounded off by a meal; who knows when he'll be back.
