 Fifty British war widows will fly to   
 the D-Day sites next week to join ro9al
 visitors and politicians in marking the
 40th anniversary of the landings.      
                                        
 Three weeks ago the Government         
 announced that no widows would bj      
 included in the official arrangements. 
                                        
 But public reaction to the decision    
 has produced a dramatic about face.    
                                        
 The Ministry of Defence said today that
 widows whose husbands died on D-Day (or
 later from wounds received on D-Day)   
 should telephone the MoD bz 2pm on     
 Thursday.
