D-Day: May and Macron in France to mark 75th anniversary
D-Day veterans will be joined in northern France by Theresa May, Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron for a second day of events to mark the 75th anniversary of the Normandy invasion.
A lone piper played to mark the moment when the first UK soldiers went ashore.
Mrs May and the French president will attend an inauguration ceremony for a memorial to honour the British troops who died in the Battle of Normandy.
D-Day was the start of the liberation of Nazi-occupied western Europe.
Hundreds of veterans have gathered in Normandy for the anniversary of the largest combined land, air and naval operation in history.
The day's commemorations mark key events in the operation, which started on 6 June 1944.
