80th D-Day Anniversary: Last Major Commemoration with Veterans

Leaders Gather in Normandy to Honor Historic Battle

Veterans and world leaders, including President Biden and King Charles, assembled in Normandy on Thursday to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Recognizing the dwindling number of D-Day veterans, organizers and officials acknowledged that this anniversary may be the last major commemoration involving their presence. The Normandy region remains a lasting testament to the pivotal D-Day Landings and the subsequent Battle of Normandy, which played a crucial role in liberating France and Europe from Nazi occupation.

In 2024, the United Kingdom will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Normandy Landings with a series of significant events and remembrances.
