On June 5, 2019, Queen Elizabeth II and The Prince of Wales attended a National Commemorative Event to mark the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings. The event took place on Southsea Common in Portsmouth, where much of the landing force left for Normandy. The Queen made a speech thanking all those who had taken part in the landings as the commemorations drew to a close. Whilst most events take place in France, remembrance services and other events occur in the UK, US and Canada. |
