There are loads of events planned over the next 2 days.

The main Sky News stream link appears to be down right now.

If anyone has any other links please post them.

Biden has arrived I believe.

No doubt remembering when he waded ashore at Omaha Beach in full gear, before ascending the sheer cliffs at Pointe du Hoc.

Charles concludes his remarks

“We’re all eternally in their [veterans] debt”.

This is frustrating that Sky’s feed is down

Wow powerful stuff from one vet:

“I don’t wear these medals for me. I wear them for those who didn’t make it”

😭

General Eisenhower would give the final order for D-Day on June 5 but he had to consult a British meteorologist to check on the weather.

They’re reading from this guys diary and they said the forecast was good and Eisenhower gave the order saying he hoped the good weather held and that were no more bad news.
