The Queen has previously been invited to all the other significant D-Day ceremonies.

It's rumored they didn't want her to be the focus over all the other dignitaries there..

But Gordon Brown is taking the heat for this in England because it's believed he should have seen to it before hand Queen Elizabeth received an invite.

Utterly stupid. The Queen absolutely should have been there.

If the truth be told/known, PBO didn't want anyone being the focus more than him.

If I am recalling my history correctly (it has been a while) not only did the Queen serve during the war, her family played an enormous role in getting the people through the war.

The Tory leader is quoted as saying he did not realize the importance of the 65th anniversary. BS!!! It was planned for PM’s and Presidents, not royalty.

He said the Queen was welcome if she wanted to come. Sure, go to Normandy and feel like the third wheel, knowing you were not wanted in the first place..
