Wish I'd been there Ray - I would love to take part in something like this!
Any details of the society involved? The costumes are superb.
Great photography by the way, in what must have been difficult circumstances - (bright light, thousands of tourists...)

As a student of history, I am in love with this. Such a great eye for each shot and wonderful processing. They all seem so authentic to the day. Gives you a real feel for being there. Great coverage. V.

I keep comming back to this gallery because I like the pictures very very much. The atmosphere is so very good. A big compliment to the photographer. I hope that sometime an event like this will be held in the Netherlands too! Black & White or Sepia is beautiful.

This must have been a wonderful event. Were there similar events going on other places in England at the same time (e.g., coastal watch, etc.)? Was this just for the 60th anniversary, or is something like this done every year? Again, great images.

How the heck did you get back to 1944? My time machine only goes forward. Wonderful images!

I hear the sound of Elgar, of "musn't grumble" and "we shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them in the fields, we will never give up, NEVER!". Great gallery, Ray. Who took 'em 'cos it wasn't you! Love the one of Churchill nad Monty.

Ray ... every single image in this gallery is outstanding. You did a fabulous job of catching the look and feel and your finishing efforts add to the old time nostalgia. I feel like I was there in 1944!!!!!

WHAT was going on in Hampshire in June of 1944? These are wonderful portrait captures! They do look as if they are out of an old movie!!
