“The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you."
— Franklin D. Roosevelt, June 6, 1944
On this day, 82 years ago, Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy in what President Roosevelt called "the mighty endeavour."
More than 156,000 soldiers crossed the English Channel that day, facing extraordinary danger.
Today, we remember the courage, sacrifice, and determination of those who served on D-Day and throughout the Second World War.
Lest we forget.
