Wikipedia comes to my rescue.

Channel Islands citizens are not citizens of the U.K.  

......

Also wikipedia: Britain was not occupied by the Germans in WWII. 

I think Martin might be a bit surprised to find he's not a citizen of the UK!

I must check Wikipedia to find out if Japan occupied the USA in WWII😆

Reminds me of an old movie I saw a long time ago, Passport to Pimlico.

I recognize the older lady as she who played Miss Marple in a few different movies.

My UK citizenship hasn't changed. 

Guernsey,  is a self governing Bailiwick a British crown dependency. Same for Jersey. British crown dependency but not UK. There's an interesting history behind it. 

 I came here from the UK so still retain the same citizenship I had before. Duel citizenship is available after a given time.

Off to Jersey in a month or so, as mentioned, that too is a self governing Bailiwick and not part of the UK. 

Just to confuse you, all Channel Islanders are British citizens.

Deleted a truck load of nonsense you didn't need.

Town was packed all day. 

Didn't bother with the drone show and missed the fireworks, this year. But did get a great view of the A400M from the top of Cornet Castle.

The reenactment...

 

 

Drones...
