UK, France, and US Join for D-Day Anniversary
World leaders unite to honor the sacrifices of soldiers who lost their lives June 6th, 1944.
World leaders and royalty joined veterans to mark the 65th Anniversary of D-Day in Normandy today.
Gordon Brown, the Prince of Wales, Barack Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy attended the remembrance service at a cemetery for US servicemen in Colleville-sur-Mer.
Paying his respects to the thousands of allied troops who died during the invasion, Brown said: “There is an unbroken line from the Normandy landings to the fall of Berlin to the end of the Second World War and then to creation of a post-war society.
“So the men we are celebrating today and commemorating those dead are the people who not only liberated Europe but made possible the freedoms we all enjoy today.”
