It was the end of an era for community radio in Larne after a popular local station ceased broadcasting on June 30.

29/06/2024

Sadly, Radio Larne will cease broadcasting on Sunday 30th June. The cost of operating Radio Larne has become prohibitive so tomorrow's Around The World with Davy Sims between 10pm-midnight will be the last show. Thanks to all who have been involved with the online radio station and in particular Lewis McAdam who was it's origanal founder and station manager.

In tribute to those brave souls who risked all in 1944.

Remembered in this haunting rendition byJim Redford of ‘The Shores of Normandy’ performed almost 10 years ago.

Veteran of the Normandy invasion, Jim Radford sings his own composition in remembrance of his crew mates and the thousands more who died on D-Day.

Whispers of Valor By Ian Driver

Upon the shores of Normandy, the brave did land,
In early morn, 'neath Heaven's gray and somber band.
The sea, it roared a dreadful tune,
As soldiers marched, beneath the waning moon.

They came as liberators, through the tide,
With hearts of courage, where fear could not reside.
The sand beneath their feet, a hallowed ground,
Where echoes of the free, would soon resound.

The air was thick with promise and with pain,
For freedom's cost, is never borne in vain.
Each step was heavy, laden with their fate,
As they moved forward, through the storm's fierce gate.

The cliffs stood tall, like sentinels of old,
Guarding secrets, in their earthen hold.
But on this day, the brave would dare to climb,
To write a new chapter, in the annals of time.

The battle raged, a symphony of will,
As heroes fell, and the earth stood still.
Yet from the chaos, arose a mighty cry,
For in their hearts, their spirit would not die.

They fought for peace, for justice, and for right,
A beacon in the darkest hour of night.
And when the dawn broke, clear and true,
The world awoke, to a horizon anew.

So let us remember, those who paid the price,
Who offered up, their very lives' sacrifice.
For on D-Day's shores, they did prevail,
And in their wake, left freedom's tale.

Lest we forget, the whispers of valor,
Carried on the wind, across the water.
For they live on, in the waves that kiss the sand,
The guardians of liberty, in a grateful land.

80th anniversary of D-Day commemorations in Mid & East Antrim

A wartime general who helped plan the Normandy Landings and a pigeon who brought one of the first operational messages back from the Landings will be remembered as part of the Normandy 80 commemorations in Mid & East Antrim.

Council will pay tribute to those who played their part in the D-Day landings with seven official events marking the anniversary of D-Day in the Borough - with three separate evening events being held in , and – prior to the lighting of beacons.

Commemorations will commence on 5 June at Ballycarry - birthplace of one of the planners of the Landings - General Sir James Stuart Steele, who was also the man who signed the Mobilization Order which took the nation to war in 1939. The village primary school and community group will be participating in an event at the amenity green at 9.30am which is also open to the public.

On 6 June at 9.15am ‘Paddy the Pigeon’ who was born and trained in and loaned to the RAF during the war, will be remembered. Paddy was the first pigeon to bring back a message to an RAF base in England following the landings and he was awarded the Dickin Medal - the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross.

Paddy returned safely from the war and lived the rest of his life in the village. His memorial plaque at Carnlough Harbour will be the focus of the commemoration which will include the two village primary schools and community representatives.

Also taking place on 6 June 2024 will be:

🔹 Larne War Memorial Gardens at 6.45pm - Civic service and wreath laying at Larne War Memorial Gardens highlighting the role Larne and her seafarers played in the Normandy Landings. Local clergy will conduct the service.

🔹 The Braid Ballymena at 7.30pm - Concert in the Atrium of the Braid with Kellswater Flute Band, the Swing Gals and piper Lee Hanna. This will be followed by the lighting of the Normandy 80 beacon at 9.15pm.

🔹 McNeill Theatre Larne at 7.45pm - Concert with Magheramorne Silver Band, Zolene and the ALS Band and piper Trevor Hassin, whose father landed at Normandy. Followed by procession from Royal British Legion to Chaine Memorial Road for lighting of a beacon after 9pm.

🔹 Carrick Town Hall at 8pm - Concert with Third Carrick Old Boys Silver Band, singer Lisa Dawson and piper John Fittis, followed by A walk to the Normandy 80 beacon at the war memorial, to be lit at 9.15pm

During the War, Prime Minister Winston Churchill described Northern Ireland as being pivotal in ensuring that “the light which now shines so strongly throughout the world would have been quenched”. The small Council beacons will be a simple but symbolic reminder of the overall role which Northern Ireland played during the war years - including in the Normandy Landings.

Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Alderman Gerardine Mulvenna, said: “Council is hosting a number of events to bring people together to mark this historic anniversary and we hope as many as possible will take part in the commemorations.

“Had the Normandy Landings been a failure there is little doubt that the war would have gone on far longer, with greater losses and possibly with different outcomes. We can all be grateful for the courage and sacrifice displayed by those thousands of young men who went onto the beaches, Normandy or were flown in on gliders.

“They came from across the United Kingdom, Canada and from the United States - protecting the values that we still hold dear, and which were in danger of being lost forever.”
