Description:
A string of events in Tenby, Saundersfoot and Amroth on June 6 - will mark the 80th anniversary of the D Day landings, highlighting the part some of Pembrokeshire’s beaches played in the rehearsals for the landings.<br/>Amroth is commemorating the historic D Day events with a beacon lighting ceremony on Thursday, June 6.<br/>A year prior to the D-Day landings, Amroth, and surrounding beaches, was used for a logistics learning and preparation practice. <br/>This rehearsal was known as Exercise Jantzen, and helped the D-Day landings be a huge success. <br/>The area was placed under military control, a curfew and residents’ IDs put in place. The beach contained coasters, landing craft and amphibious vehicles.<br/>Residents were banned from the beaches during the exercise, and police enforced a curfew. <br/>Several roadways were bulldozed through the natural bank of pebbles which lined Amroth beach. This weakened local sea defences, and eventually the Government helped to fund sea walls and groynes. <br/>An abandoned landing craft was visible on Amroth beach for years, until it settled below the sand.<br/>The Allies learnt a great deal from Exercise Jantzen, including many of the shortcomings of unloading equipment from beached ships and barges. <br/>The failings may have proved to the military authorities that the most efficient way of unloading troops and equipment at a secured beachhead was to build an artificial harbour. <br/>Ultimately, this is what happened at Normandy with the building of Port Winston at Arromanches.<br/>According to local folklore, Prime Minister Winston Churchill was one of the interested spectators who witnessed Exercise Jantzen and he drank tea at a hostelry in Wiseman’s Bridge where the beach was also used for the exercise.<br/>On the day of the anniversary, at 7.25am there will be the raising the Flag of Peace at Amroth’s flagpole, and a reading of the Proclamation.<br/>In the evening at the seaside village, at 6.30pm the Amroth Church Bell will sound with a ‘Ring Out For Peace’; before an International Tribute is read out at 9pm; and then the lighting of the beacon at 9.15pm.<br/>Everyone is welcome to join in and remember the historic event, the bravery and sacrifice of the military troops and give thanks for the freedom we enjoy today.<br/><br/>In Tenby, the Mayor Cllr. Dai Morgan, fellow councillors, representatives of Tenby Royal British Legion and local cadet units, will leave Castle Square at The Harbour at approximately 8.50pm on June 6 to process up to Castle Hill.<br/>There, following the reading of the International D-Day Tribute, Cllr. Morgan will light Tenby’s beacon to form part of a UK wide chain of Beacons and Lamp Lights of Peace at 9.15pm.<br/><br/>Saundersfoot harbour will host a D-Day Remembrance Service on Saturday, June 8.<br/>With the 80th anniversary of the D Day landings taking place this month, the service hosted by the Community Council will take place on the decking area at 1 pm

Work is progressing to reopen the landslide-hit coastal tunnels connecting Coppet Hall to Wisemans Bridge.&#60;br/&#62;The popular path has been closed since the turn of the year and sectioned off by Pembrokeshire County Council for safety reasons, after being hit by a series of landslips.&#60;br/&#62;The aim is to get the tunnels that adjoin Saundersfoot with its neighbouring seaside village of Wisemans Bridge back open by the start of the summer holidays, although this is dependent on a number of factors.&#60;br/&#62;The contract for the cliff stabilisation works was awarded to iBEX Technical Access who have extensive experience of this type of work and have worked in the Saundersfoot area previously. &#60;br/&#62;“It is envisaged work will be completed and the path reopened around July 12. This date is provisional, and subject to satisfactory progress of work being achieved,” said a spokesperson for the Local Authority.&#60;br/&#62;PCC highway infrastructure engineer Neil Morgan remarked: “Works are going well on site. There is a lot more loose rock to the face of the cliffs which requires removal but this should not cause too much of an issue.&#60;br/&#62;“We have had an issue with settlement of the sea wall backfill material nearer Wisemans Bridge causing a hole in the path. This is a result of coastal erosion to the seawall which will be repaired this week.&#60;br/&#62;“We are still working towards opening the tunnels on July 12, this is however, as always, dependent on many factors.”&#60;br/&#62;Saundersfoot county councillor for the south ward Cllr Chris Williams, who has been keen to ensure that the tunnels are reopened ahead of the summer season, to benefit local businesses, residents and visitors alike, said: “It is great to see works going ahead at the tunnels recently and was lovely to have a quick catch up with the contractors while I had a meeting at Coppet Hall.&#60;br/&#62;“Works are progressing well on site and there is a lot more loose rock on the cliffs that requires removal. This should not cause too much of an issue. &#60;br/&#62;“A lot of time has been spent clearing away all the loose materials and an area at the top of the cliff has been cleared because it was overhanging. This has meant that some trees have had to be taken down and it has left an incredible view from this area.&#60;br/&#62;“Once these works are completed, they will then work on the area near Wisemans Bridge that will also need clearing and making safe. &#60;br/&#62;“There has been additional works planned due to an issue with settlement of the sea wall backfill material nearer Wisemans Bridge, causing a hole in the path. This is a result of coastal erosion to the seawall, that will be repaired next week.”
