Veterans Prepare to Mark 70th Anniversary of D-Day

Seventy years ago one of the biggest allied military armadas ever assembled was being readied under the utmost secrecy to storm the beaches of Normandy.

D-Day was to be a pivotal turning point in the war to bring down Nazi Germany. This week British veterans and serving personnel will be marking that remarkable military feat, culminating on Thursday and Friday in special ceremonies in Normandy attended by heads of state from allied countries.
