Just had this through after submitting our forms, arrggghhhhh what do I do??
Doesn't seem to be much info on the website diverted to, and looking at other websites the emphasis seems to be more on the 6th as opposed to the 4th to 8th as suggested before.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for contacting the Ministry of Defence (MoD) regarding accreditation to be in Normandy and/ or attend DDay 70 commemorations and events on 6 June.
The MoD is currently only assisting Normandy Veterans (+ their families and travel companions) to obtain accreditation from the French authorities.
All other persons wishing to travel around Normandy on 6 June should obtain accreditation directly from the French Authorities at the National Office for Veterans and Victims of War of Calvados. Information regarding the process can be found at http://www.le70e-normandie.fr/practical-information/f-a-q/?lang=en
If you have already submitted an accreditation form to us prior to 10 April we will pass your application to the French Authorities on your behalf. However, if you are receiving this email then your details are not being transferred. Therefore you will need to resubmit your application (the details are the same as on our accreditation form) via their online channel on the website above. I apologise for the inconvenience this may cause you.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has issued travel advice for British Citizens wishing to make the journey to Normandy here.
Also, do keep up to date by checking for latest news on http://www.gov.uk/mod/dday70 or http://www.the70th-normandy.com.
