Royal family and world leaders to celebrate 80th anniversary of D-day
Normandy, June 6 (Hibia) – The British Royal family and world leaders are gathering with veterans in northern France today to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the D-day landings.
In this incident, the largest naval landing in history, more than 150 thousand Allied soldiers occupied Normandy, creating one of the turning points of the Second World War.
Separate commemoration events are planned for British veterans who cannot travel to France in France and the UK.
Joe Biden and King Charles are among those attending D-day celebrations in France and the United Kingdom.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will miss the significant international ceremony to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Still, Labor leader Keir Starmer will attend the Omaha Beach event with world leaders.
Sunak is attending events, including speaking at the major British ceremony in Normandy, but will not appear alongside leaders such as Emmanuel Macron and Joe Biden at the international meeting.
