D-Day 60th Anniversary

June 2004 sees the 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy on 6th June 1944, and the start of the successful liberation of Europe.

Thousands of veterans are marking the anniversary in a series of events in Normandy. The British Armed Forces are providing support to our veterans to help them commemorate in an appropriate manner their achievements and their sacrifices of 60 years ago.

This website includes some brief historical notes on selected aspects of the Normandy campaign and will also feature photographs from the anniversary events.
