A convoy of London taxis has brought around 100 veterans to Normandy to lay wreaths at the Bayeux Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery. Located in the first town liberated on D-Day, the cemetery is the largest Second World War cemetery of Commonwealth soldiers in France, with nearly 5,000 graves. Most of the 4,000 British soldiers buried here died during the invasion, 73 years ago.
