Hello I am the french man who met Ralph McCure on sword beach and I’ll keep this good memory for my whole life. You can see us shaking hands in this movie. I love this whole story, Ralph is so humble ! Vicky is very lucky to have such a granpa and her movie is a loving testimony she can be very proud of. Vicky if you come back to Ouistreham I’ll be very happy to invite you for a cup of tea, I live 200 meters far from the site where we were filmed together ! Long life to Ralph ! Thierry Cordonnier

Thank you Terry, for helping younger people understand what happened and for protecting the memories of all who passed through your beaches.

Bless you for your respect to this brave soldier xxxx

The younger generation should watch this and then look at the sacrifices that allowed them their freedoms of today. Personally I am embarrassed at how the subsequent generations have abused those sacrifices with their constant whining and ridiculous laws that in the cold light of day are utterly ludicrous and irrelevant. Thank you Ralph for putting others first and forgoing your youth and for enduring a lifetime of PTSD.

I watched this in awe yesterday and with leaky eyes 😢. There's something about that generation that is inspiring in its modesty. Their achievements are profound. Our grandparents saved the world from a hideous future in which our generation simply wouldn't exist. The difference between the young boys that took on Hitlers thugs and the current youth who fall apart if their wifi goes down is unbelievable.

You touch my heart ❤ we salute you sir...Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Hats off to that gent! We just don't make 'em like that anymore I don't believe. Not in the UK or here in the states. The selfless sense of obligation when duty called. God bless him and welcome his soul when it's time!

Watched the programme, the best thing that has been on for years. What an amazing man from an incredible generation. Sod the alphabet soup month, this is what we should be celebrating, something to be proud of!

I wish more than anything to be able to do this with my grandad who would be 99 years old. He passed in 94’. Hold yours tight. Ask any and all questions. When they’re gone it’s a void you can’t replace. I salute you for doing this. I thank your grandad for his service. Not only to Britain but to the world.

I was on HMS Fearless in 1994 when we to part in the 50th anniversary of the D Day landings, had the privilege to meet some of the veterans from that day who were at the pointy end, all sprightly 70 year olds. Very humbling, all there to visit the lads who now lie sleeping in a foreign land, there is a reason they are called the greatest generation., the numbers have diminished over the years, only a few left. Lest we Forget, We will Remember them.m

My father also landed on this day, maybe on Vicks grandads ship, to drive a tank on sword beach on d day. Such brave men must never be forgotten. In their 90s - Full of smiles, positive and not winging like the younger generations now… There will never be men like them again….

Putting on all that kit and carrying your SMLE over your head as you struggle through the water, is a great way to reenact the experience. Be thankful no one is firing at you as you go!

Thank you Sir for keeping us free. God bless you! 🇺🇸

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦. My father and uncle fought in WWII. Two farm boys from Moose Jaw Saskatchewan both wounded for King & Country. Total respect for all veterans who bleed and died for our freedoms. RIP and God Bless them all. 🙏

Total respect to you Sir for all you did, how many can say they knew of what their father or grandfather did in ww11, if they are alive, ask them, maybe they will tell you, maybe they won’t, but ask, it’s all part of a families history that should be remembered and documented

Just watching the uploads you have got me thinking of my granddad and my wife's grandfather both in the war and today the 5 of June the pathfinders where behind the lines and so DDay was well on its way to end the war still the Germans would push and we kept going so thank you to the generations that made use free

My father would never speak about this. He was in the Scot’s guards regiment France and NW Europe…this will give me some idea of his war experiences. He died in 1985 when I was younger 😢

Respekt and honour from Germany to this brave man.... it was so sad that Anglo-Saxons and Saxons fought with each other..... sorry for all that harm... 😢 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌹🙏

I’m in the States, how can I see this movie? Is it streaming anywhere? Please thank your grandfather for me and from All Americans. We owe him and his generation a debt that we can never truly repay.

God Bless them, all those who fought and died to preserve our freedom. My Dad was on Omaha on 6/6/44' with the 1st. Infantry Division...

Thanx for this, fewer of these guys every day 👍

Ralph McClure is just amazing 😊

Absolutely fantastic - sadly I never got to meet my grandfather who took part in the landings at Gold beach. However I was lucky enough to learn all about him from my grandmother who lived to 99 years old.

I must say as an American with a British Mother and Family I am very proud of all of their service in WWll and my Grandads service in WWl in the RFC. To see a modern actress who obviously loves her Grandad take the time to put on a uniform and kit and attempt to walk a shore is refreshing. I have a respect for her that I do not have for many of her peers, may God Bless her and of course her Granddad as they are our greatest generation on either side of the pond.

Beautiful moment ❤️ God bless you sir 🇬🇧 🙏

Thank you for your service SIR!💂‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦

I don't know about schools now, but back in the 1980s, we got taught about the 1940s war/life in the UK. I think it should always be given a lot of time because of the lessons to be learned from war/the hardships/people/how we had to "make do and mend"/day-to-day life/community spirit and so on. It's a good thing to be able to see what real hardships were vs the life we live today.

Beautiful programme.True love between the two of them.What a generation they were, and what a beautiful woman Vicky is.❤🫡

That photograph over the fire place, they’re the spitting image of each other

Watched this Vicky a lovely story , thanks for sharing . Xx

Joli ! Thank you

"Yes I'm lookin' forward to it. Oh, yes!" (2:51) He still has the fighting spirit of a liberator.

Despite being a county fan..he’s a great bloke. Good on you Ralph and Vicky.

waiting breathlessly for more!!!

I hope to see this, Vicky was good in Line of Duty, maybe better in This is England, Neil Morrissey is also a very good narrator and actor, he was very good in Line of Duty and many others but obviously Ralph is ultimately the hero here, I hope to find and see the full programme

This reminds me of my Dad who was a stretcher bearer from before Dunkerque to North Africa and Italy to Trieste. It also reminds me of the fact that the Europe for which they fought to liberate is now denied to us for 90 out of 180 days . This is wrong.

Where can I see the rest of this?

Thank you Sir

Beautiful ....Cheers and love always from Juno🍁

I’ll definitely be wanting to watch this then. Is there a streaming service I can watch the whole thing on?

Your grandad was super hero we will never forget his brave and sacarified for us ,unless his brave we were destroyed by The Nazis .

We are not allowed to watch in the states. Do you have other ways to see the program?

Where can we see the whole video? I love the old veteran’s and I love Vicky McClure.

This should be part of school work with trips to the battlefields.

Proper notts❤

When can I see this in the US.? I subscribe to BritBox and Acorn.

Apparently not available in the US.

I am a bit of a soft shxxe so this brought a tear to my eye... 😢
