Okay Tony, thanks.
In an effort to attract more people to attend the unveiling, I have made a post on the CVA Page on Facebook - when you have more details I will update accordingly.

Rick,
That's fantastic, well done to Tony and everyone else involved.
Pleased to see there was a gathering there, albeit a small one, despite the wonderful weather - you'd have thought they'd be enjoying such a glorious day at the beach...
Looking forward to seeing the photos and having them in the Gallery!

Hi all,
Firstly and most sad news is of Tom Hamilton's passing. Sleep well old mate.
Secondly Sorry Nick I have only just got vertical again after a minor flair up put me in the sick room. But if you go to:
http://ardentinny.org/2015/06/13/ardentinny-d-day-memorial-plaque-unveiled/#comment-289064
This is the much shortened version of the day due to bad weather. I did email the C.O. of the Bugler for his work on the day.
Thirdly these photographs have just been emailed to me from Ian Adams via Tony Rodaway.
Regards
