77th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy

Updated on 4 June 2021

2021 marks the 77th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. Based on this year’s commemorations paying tribute to the heroes who came from far and wide to restore freedom to Europe, here’s an idea of what to expect.

The D-Day Festival

Every year, the tourist offices situated along and near the D-Day Landing Beaches come together to coordinate the D-Day Festival, .. https://www.ddayfestival.com/?lang=uk .. which features commemorative events and festivities on the five D-Day Landing Beaches and in Sainte-Mère-Église, Bayeux and Arromanches-les-Bains (Gold Beach sector) to name but a few places.

Opening of the British Normandy Memorial

British armed forces played a central role in D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, and more than 22,000 made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. Until now, there has been no single memorial dedicated to their remembrance. The Normandy Memorial Trust was created in 2016 to realise the dream of Normandy Veterans to have a British Normandy Memorial .. https://en.normandie-tourisme.fr/british-normandy-memorial/ .. and, following nearly six years of hard work, it finally opens on Sunday 6 June 2021, to mark the 77th Anniversary of D-Day.
