Parachute Regiment - Pegasus Bridge Wreath

Poppy Wreath from the Manchester Parachute Association on the Cenotaph in St Peter's Square Manchester. The emblem relates to the Pegasus Bridge mission during D-Day in WWII.

Me and my brother rode across the current bridge (I think the original one is in a museum now) when we cycled from Cherbourg to Le Havre in 1999. There is a little cafe next to the bridge that is nice, if somewhat pricey.
