Today, 6 June, marks the D-Day 70th anniversary and 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy.
They set sail in 6,939 vessels — an impressive armada for a single naval operation.
The landings were the first stage of Operation Overlord - the invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe - and were intended to end World War Two.

The invasion of Normandy was the largest amphibious assault ever launched. Over 150,000 troops landed on D-Day.
By the end of D-Day, the allies had established a foothold in France. Within 11 months Nazi Germany was defeated.
Many as 4,413 Allied troops died on the day of the invasion - more than previously thought.

- Ceremony honoring the fallen on D-Day, in Normandy 2020
A small ceremony was held on Saturday, 6th June 2020 morning at Omaha Beach in Saint-Laurent-Sur-Mer to honour the sacrifice of those who died in the 1944 D-Day landings.
Compared to twelve months ago, when tens of thousands reached Normandy's northern French beaches, a much smaller number of people attended this year's celebration due to the coronavirus pandemic.
When the sun rose on the other side of the English Channel, there was no usual cheering and old military vehicle noise.
Still, the French would not let this day go by unnoticed, such is their attachment to some 160,000 soldiers from the United States, Britain, Canada, and other countries who shed their blood to free Europe during World War II.

Allied land forces that saw combat in Normandy on D-Day itself came from Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. Free French Forces and Poland also participated in the battle after the assault phase, and there were also minor contingents from Belgium, Greece, the Netherlands, and Norway. Other Allied nations participated in the naval and air forces.
The battle for Normandy continued for more than two months, concluding with the closing of the Falaise pocket on 24 August, the Liberation of Paris on 25 August, and the German retreat across the Seine which was completed on 30 August 1944.
