King, Queen, and Prince of Wales joining veterans to mark 80th anniversary of D-Day
SUMMARY
The King, Queen, and Prince of Wales will join veterans in Portsmouth to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The Normandy landings, which occurred on June 6, 1944, were the largest seaborne invasion in history and marked a pivotal point towards Allied victory in World War II. Over two days, dignitaries including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, alongside the veterans who fought on the beaches, will honor this historic event. The commemorations will feature military musicians, special guests, and a flypast by the RAF Red Arrows. Veteran Donald Jones and others will return to Normandy to remember their fallen brothers in arms.
