Heroes invited to lead Dutch military parade
Scottish Daily Express
|April 26, 2025
TWO veterans and their carers are being offered the chance to stand with giants as British soldiers return to the scene of their finest hour.
Heroes of the Second World War will take centre stage for the 80th anniversary of Dutch Liberation on May 5 - and thanks to a spectacular victory over the Government, additional places are available.
The fully funded Taxi Charity for Military Veterans trip will leave on May 2 and return on May 6.
Among the returning heroes will be 99-year-old Geoff Roberts, who took part in the Battle of Arnhem in 1944.
He will lead events held to commemorate the end of five years of occupation, with what could be an emotional final salute.
