It's a story from a different world, one that is almost as distant in time from us as D-Day was then.
It mentions four world leaders present at the ceremony then, three are now dead but the fourth was there again yesterday and in the same role.
On June 6, President Reagan will join French President Francois Mitterrand, Queen Elizabeth, and Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau at ceremonies in Caen, France, to mark the occasion.
- hardlianotion 7y agoThat's a little Trudeau joke for the reader, yes?
- barking 7y agoNo, Pierre was Justin's father.
- hardlianotion 7y agoI know that. Pierre is dead and was not there in any capacity, as parent claimed. His son was.
- barking 7y agoThe quote is from a 1984 news story, Pierre was Canadian PM then and Justin would have been 12 years old at the time.
- hardlianotion 7y agoI know that too (I know when Reagan was prz for a start), but Trudeau was not there in the same capacity as before - ie Prime Minister.
