You'd think Trump or someone would offer Melania a hand here...

That's a hell of a step down without a hand rail, in sky high heels onto uneven grass...

I'd have been scared my ankle would go over. Someone should have helped her.

She’s fit and wears heels all the time I’m sure she managed perfectly well.

I’m more concerned about Macron being seduced by Mrs May....

That's not the point. It would be good manners for someone to assist her.

Sheridan Smith is such a trouper. That was a lovely song - very touching.

@Soola

Theresa May's hat from the other side is quite the seduction piece:

Oh gawd!

Mrs May in a Macron and Trudeau sandwich! Yuk! 🤮

Lavellan · 05/06/2019 11:59

Hah, he couldn't give less of a shit.

SoupDragon · 05/06/2019 12:01

Has Trump ever shown any kind of affection or care for Melania in public?

BlackberryBeret · 05/06/2019 12:02

Macron up next reading a letter home.

It's obviously really windy at the D-Day celebrations - Celie Imrie looked like she was going to blow away.

There's been some shocking overacting in some of the readings.

Trump has no manners or compassion. He wouldn't help anyone with anything unless there was some form of monetary gain in it. And even then he'd bugger off the moment the money was in his horrible orange sticky little mit.

RosaWaiting · 05/06/2019 12:05

if your shoes mean you can't do stuff that you are scheduled to do, you're in the wrong fucking shoes

I'm sure she can look after herself, she chose to wear them.

BeautifulWintersMorning · 05/06/2019 12:05

Trump is so hideous i can't stand to look at photos of him

spugzbunny · 05/06/2019 12:08

She's an adult, she can ask. If it were my husband I'd be a bit miffed if he didn't at least check I was ok but I'm sure she's knows what to expect by now.

NotNowMrTumnus · 05/06/2019 12:13

I am being unreasonable, but I do think they need to give it a rest. It’s been 75 years. Let it go. This sort of thing doesn’t help with the divisions in this country. Say “thanks guys” one last time and move on.

There. I’ve said it. I shall don my hard hat and leave the room.

BlackberryBeret · 05/06/2019 12:14

Theresa May now reading another letter.

I do think it's a real mistake to have non-professional actors doing this. It's hard to read an emotional letter well as this is demonstrating.

@NotNowMrTumnus

I know what you mean but - the men who are still alive are in their 90s. It's nice they are recognised still as there isn't probably much longer they will be alive.

Now some excruciating "scene" with David Haig and an American soldier.

BlackberryBeret · 05/06/2019 12:18

Is anyone else watching this?

I'm cringing inside for all of them.

I agree that it would be a nice, gentlemanly thing to do (but then it is Trump...). But also, she's made her feelings very clear to us all that she really doesn't like holding his hand, so maybe he's finally got the message.

wowfudge · 05/06/2019 12:19

I've ending up watching this by accident - got a migraine and was after HUTH. I though TM's reading was excellent. For a non actor she did a great job, better than some of the actors.

As for "letting it go", what a disrespectful and ignorant post Tumnus.

What divisions?

wowfudge · 05/06/2019 12:25

I assume the pp is referring to Brexit divisions.

RosaWaiting · 05/06/2019 12:31

"This sort of thing doesn’t help with the divisions in this country"

um, what now? We can't have memorials for things because....because what? I'm lost.

wowfudge · 05/06/2019 12:42

If anything I think this shows how important it is to work with your neighbours and allies. It was a joint effort.

CoolCarrie · 05/06/2019 12:51

You have the freedom to think what you like NotNow, thanks to the brave people who fought in WW2, so you should be bloody ashamed of yourself. It’s sickening to think that anyone would feel that those veterans don’t deserve these events. Lest We Forget
