In 2024, we are commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, a pivotal moment in world history. An extensive programme of events is organised throughout Normandy until 15th October, to evoke the memory of this tragic period, and to emphasise the enduring spirit of hope that emerged from it.
