Honoring D-Day: Veterans Celebrated 80 Years Later

The 80th anniversary of D-Day is marked by poignant ceremonies in Normandy and England, focusing on the dwindling number of surviving veterans. King Charles, in his first major speech since his cancer diagnosis, emphasized the "eternal debt" owed to the 10,000 casualties who fought to replace tyranny with freedom. With only about 200 veterans returning to the battle sites, the events are seen as a final opportunity to hear their testimonies and express gratitude. The commemorations also included tributes from Prince William, Queen Camilla, and French President Emmanuel Macron, who highlighted the enduring spirit of sacrifice.
