Join us as we explore this amazing chapter in our history
On 6 June 1944 – 'D-Day' – Allied forces launched the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare. Codenamed Operation 'Overlord', the Allied landings on the beaches of Normandy marked the start of a long and costly campaign to liberate north-west Europe from Nazi occupation.
Remembering the sacrifice of the D-Day invaders, King Charles recently said “We are all eternally in their debt” and that it is “our duty to ensure that we, and future generations, do not forget their service and their sacrifice”.
