We shall slight them on the beaches! Cafe on Normandy's Omaha beach stormed by ... trends now
A World War II tour guide has slammed a cafe on Normandy's Omaha beach, claiming it refused to serve a group of British soldiers 'because they are English'.
Creperie la Falaise in Vierville-sur-Mer overlooks the coastline which was stormed by Allied troops on D-Day as they sought to liberate France from Nazi occupation.
Almost exactly 60 years on, battlefield guide Eugenie Brooks said troops she took to the eatery were refused service.
