President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have marked the 80th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour with a sombre visit to the Second World War memorial in the nation’s capital.

The 1941 attack on Pearl Harbour and other locations in Hawaii killed 2,403 service members and civilians and was a defining moment that led to US entry into the war.
