Comedian and broadcaster Don Maclean has joined forces with Henley in Arden coach operator Johnsons to lead a special Ypres battlefield tour next May. Don has made a lifelong study of the 1914 – 1918 war and is about to put his extensive knowledge to the test as he guides a party through the historical sites visiting places such as Tyne Cot Cemetery, the Menin gate, Sanctuary Wood, Vimy Ridge and the mediaeval city of Ypres with its cathedral, the rebuilt cloth hall and the “In Flanders” Museum. 

Don said “I met Johnson’s earlier in the year and helped them with fund raising at their Centenary Charity dinner.  I mentioned that I would be interested in hosting a battlefields tour so I’m delighted that a date has been set.  I’ve used my own knowledge and experience to set out the itinerary for what will certainly be an enthralling and poignant tour.” 

The 4 day tour departs Friday 21^st May 2010.
