epa07566418 A handout photo made available by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) showing the Allied invasion on D-Day, 06 June 1944 as vehicles can be seen at the moment they disembark from landing craft. On 06 June 1944, on the first day of Operation Overlord, around 4,300 Allied personnel lost their lives serving their country in what would be the largest amphibious invasion ever launched. World leaders are to attend memorial events in Normandy, France on 06 June 2019 to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, which marked the beginning of the end of World War II in Europe.

epa04241109 More than 300 troops, taking part in a parachute drop near Ranville, France, 05 June 2014, to commemorate the involvement of airborne forces in D-Day. British, Canadian, French and American paratroopers jumped on to the same fields near Ranville that were used as a drop zone 70 years ago, watched by The Prince of Wales, Colonel in Chief of The Parachute Regiment, and the Chief of the General Staff General Sir Peter Wall. The event was followed by a flypast by two Spitfires from the RAF?s Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and a Dakota, the transport aircraft used on D-Day, from which 12 British troops jumped. The main body of paratroopers - from the British 16 Air Assault Brigade; the Canadian 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia?s Canadian Light Infantry; American 82nd Airborne Division; and the French 11e Brigade Parachutiste - then jumped in.
