The D-Day Story tells the story of the Normandy Landings through the personal accounts of those who were there. Visitors are taken on a journey through the planning of the operation, landing on the beaches, and the legacy of D-Day. Now installed outside our museum and part of our visitor offering is LCT 7074 the last surviving landing craft of its type and size.
The museum is also the home of the wonderful Overlord Embroidery, which depicts the landings through 34 hand-stitched panels measuring a total of 83 metres.

Excellent book about the role of pigeons in D-Day operations, especially Gustav who was awarded Dickin medal. Very useful to teach children about the Landings.
