Visit the Delta Works, one of the world’s most impressive modern engineering achievements. Learn about this vast network of dams, storm surge barriers and sluices, built over more than 30 years to protect the Netherlands from flooding after the devastating North Sea Flood of 1953.

In Ypres, attend the moving Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing, where buglers pay tribute each evening to the thousands of British and Commonwealth soldiers who died in the Ypres Salient and have no known grave.
