D Day remembered: the battleship HMS Ramillies opening fire in support of British forces on Sword Beach.
An exercise I set myself drawing smoke and suggesting the silhouette of the ship in a quick pencil sketch.

D Day, 6 June 1944. A Sherman Crab flail tank stranded on Sword beach. We recorded training facilities for these at Duncombe Park, Helmsley, a landscape project with English Heritage. Roads and loading platforms for putting the vehicles onto tank transporters still survive in the park.

My dad. 15 years ago he died of cancer. By chance I found this pic of him & the pit he worked at almost all his working life & strive to keep me out of. I lit candles in York Minster on most anniversaries, in St Nicholas Chapel. RiP Charlie.
I spotted these bits of old grave slabs for #WallsOnWednesday in the peace garden wall of St Martin's church in Coney Street, York.
