On 6 June 2024, the world will mark the last major D-Day anniversary alongside Veterans of the Normandy Campaign. Exactly 80 years on, we will honour and remember.
‘D-Day 80: Remembering the Normandy Landings’, a unique evening of music-led, multi-generational storytelling, reflecting on the beginning of the end of the Second World War.
The anniversary event will feature a cast of world-class names from the world of music, TV and film, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and Normandy Veterans of the Allied Campaign.
The modern re-telling of this turning-point in history will include special effects and untold personal stories of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the summer of 1944.
The charity partner for this event is the British Normandy Memorial, which opened in June 2021. The Memorial, which stands in Normandy overlooking Gold Beach, holds the names of the 22,442 service personnel serving under British Command who died on D-Day and during the Battle of Normandy.
D-Day 80: Remembering the Normandy Landings is sponsored by Ancestry and produced jointly by The Makers Of and TBI Media.
