Having arrived back from Holland yesterday I've had a chance to get some of the pictures of this event together but there are many more to come as this was very well covered in the media.
Veere is a lovely town dating back to the 1500's and retains much of its seaward defenses making it ideal to stage an amphibious landing to mark the bicentennial of the British landings on the island of Walcheren in a bid to take Antwerp.
