"This is for our Bristol men that came back and survived but have always lived with the horrors of that war."Philip Rowe, whose father William Rowe is represented on the pillar, said it was "very moving indeed" that he had been remembered.

As part of the navy, his father landed Canadian troops on Juno Beach."He always said he was just so grateful he wasn't part of the troops, he literally saw blood in the water," said Mr Rowe."I think he saw terrible things, so it's just so moving to see this here and have them remembered but particularly those who actually ran at the beaches and didn't survive."

“There is and will not be any atonement for abandoning the captives,” he said. “It will be a mark of Cain on the forehead of Israeli society and those leading this mistaken path.”Netanyahu, who along with Gallant is facing an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes, has repeatedly denied this and stressed his commitment to freeing the hostages.
