Share this post

On Thursday 6th June in the evening, Girlguiding Blackpool division took part in the town’s commemorations for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day.
The evening started with reflections on the sand, where girls and leaders were invited to stencil images into the sand to commemorate the fallen. We then took part in a walk along the beach accompanied by a lone piper where the evening finished with the lighting of the Beacon of Hope (Blackpool Tower which was lit up in red, white and blue).
