Our predecessor was not part of Operation Overlord. However HMS WARSPITE, a Queen Elizabeth Class Battleship, was the first to open fire on D-Day in support of landings by the British 3rd Div on Sword Beach. She is also the most battle honoured ship in the @RoyalNavy #DDay75
Practice makes perfect, and we want to be perfect for our heroes as they pass us by. We will be live on our Twitter when MV Boudicca exit past us from approx 1840. #DDay75 #BehindTheWall
