Derelict GPO telephone kiosk at Tyneham
Nearly 80 years ago, the residents of a tiny Dorset village were forced to abandon their homes by Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Tyneham village and surrounding hamlets were cleared before Christmas 1943 to allow Allied forces to prepare for the D-Day landings.

Despite the promises of Winston Churchill, the residents never returned to the village and surrounding areas.
Since then, Tyneham village has been the source of fascination for several decades and has become a popular tourist spot.
One reader says: "This picture is from when Tyneham was truly a magical place to visit."
Donkeys on Weymouth beach
So many people have fond memories of donkey rides on Weymouth beach.
One said: "I loved riding those when I was a child."
"I saw them on Chickerell Road going past 345 daily in the summers of the 50s & 60s!" another said.
"This was dad's favourite treat for us as children - a ride on the Weymouth donkeys, happy memories," one reader remembers.
The rides still remain popular to this very day with one reader telling us: "My young grandchildren love the donkey rides."

Preston Beach Road after a storm has blown tons of pebbles from the beach onto the road
Before a beach wall to protect Preston Beach Road, pebbles strewn across the road would be a familiar sight after storms.
Vicious storms would throw water and shingle over the old wall, and there are even pictures of cars and buses being embedded in the pebbles.
Luckily, the new wall has so far meant this is now a thing of the past.
