Why would it start a riot.

Sad reflection perhaps, but prudent, logical, common sense
in todays political climate.

And the veterans who landed are going to be excluded from visiting the
invasion beaches because of the security. The politicians should stay
home and let the vets have their day. Almost half a million won't be
here next year.

Can you point me to a cite for that? I can't find it on any of the
reputable news sources - or even Fox.

I saw it on CNN's Web site weeks ago. You can try a search.

I did before I asked for the cite. That's why I said "I can't find it

On the other hand,
http://www.thisisbath.com/displayNod...entPK=10144628
contains a description of a ceremony:

The trip will involve a service at sea, followed by a flypast by the RAF
memorial fleet in the Channel as the boat nears the beaches.

As the boat arrives on the coast, the RAF military bomber fleet will
release thousands of poppies.

The group will then go to Bayeux where there will be an additional service
at the cemetery.

That sounds fair. The European derived races will be halved in less
than 50 years thanks to their victory.

Unintentional but true. This was a war not worth fighting or even
winning.
