Happy 101st Birthday, Ken! 🎂❤️
We wish D-Day Veteran Ken Cooke a wonderful day with family and friends.
Ken is a Memorial Ambassador and an incredible long-time supporter of the Trust's work.
He served with 7th Battalion the Green Howards and landed on Gold Beach, which sits below the Memorial, on 6th June 1944.
With Normandy Veteran Ken Hay's 101st on Monday, it's been a week of celebrations for the two Kens! 🎉🎉

We were absolutely delighted to welcome 100-year-old D-Day veteran Ken Cooke back into school this afternoon to talk to Year 9 students.
Ken was as engaging as ever and the students listened to his talk immaculately.
Thank you Ken - we are indebted to you 🙏

It’s being reported that a Wolves training session was delayed for nearly 2 hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the pitch.
Training was suspended while an investigation was launched. After a complete analysis, experts determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the Goal Line.
Training resumed after it was decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again this season.
