Vandals have targeted a Hampshire museum dedicated to commemorating the D-Day landings as it prepared to reopen following a revamp.
The D-Day Museum in Southsea, has had to cancel its relaunch, which was due to be attended by veterans and local dignitaries, following the break-in during which Poppy Appeal cash was also stolen.
Lee Hunt, Portsmouth City Council Cabinet member for culture and leisure, said: ”We can’t quite believe we’re having to cancel this morning’s grand opening of the D-Day Museum, but a break-in and act of vandalism has forced us to postpone.
This shows how low our civilization has fallen, stealing from the heros that saved freedom in the 1940s is very low.
