  Last Boat to Normandy takes a quiet, dignified trip to France with a small number of selected veterans, in order that they can pay their respects once more. In doing so, they share with us the memories, nightmares and stories which have remained with them ever since that famous day in 1944. Our camera crew will be travelling with a group of veterans from the North of England, as they visit those same spots where they risked their lives six decades ago, and where they lost so many of their fellow countrymen. They ll be visiting key sites, leaving floral tributes, taking part in emotional memorial ceremonies, and generally remembering those long-ago events with quiet dignity. They ll be meeting up with old comrades, and old adversaries, to look back together at what happened, and how it changed the world as we know it. They'll share with each other the tales of bravery, danger and contant threat which marked that campaign. The film looks at who did what, and asks them to explain in their own words why they did what they did. From personal accounts of fear and chaos, through to uplifting stories of brotherhood forged in adversity. This is the real story behind the organised services, and the pilgrimages made to attend them. This is the D-Day Landings.... in their own words.
