King Charles leads tributes at D-Day 80th anniversary | BBC News


France and Britain are holding commemorations marking the eightieth anniversary of the D-Day landings during the Second World War.

In Portsmouth in England, King Charles called on people to live up to the freedom soldiers died for, paying tribute to surviving veterans. In France, President Macron also evoked the spirit of sacrifice at a ceremony in Brittany.

The D-Day landings saw troops from the UK, US, Canada and France attacking German forces in Normandy, northern France, during World War Two.

It was the largest seaborne invasion ever attempted, and marked the start of the campaign to liberate Nazi-occupied north-west Europe.
