D-Day anniversary marked with socially-distanced ceremony in France

Second World War veterans were also able to watch footage of the new British Normandy Memorial being built.

The 76th anniversary of the D-Day landings has been marked with a socially-distanced ceremony at the graves of fallen war heroes in France.

Compared to 2019’s extensive 75th anniversary commemorations, this year’s remembrance of the crucial 1944 allied invasion of Normandy was vastly scaled back.
