London 2012 organisers have upset D-day veterans, National Historic Ships and the UK National Defence Association and been criticised for their insensitivity by accidentally airbrushing out HMS Belfast from one of its promotional posters. The vessel is an iconic London landmark and was instrumental in both World War II (where it took on an important role in the Normandy landings) and the Korean War, before its mooring at its present Tower Bridge location since 1971. Since that time, it has attracted around 8 million visitors. To make matters worse for the London 2012 committee, the news has rather unfortunately broken on the eve of Remembrance Day.
