Some of the last surviving veterans of the D-Day landings have arrived in France for the 80th anniversary commemorations.
Four of the veterans returned to Sword Beach, one of the landing areas for the invasion, evoking emotional memories of the comrades they lost.
The D-Day landings were the largest military naval, air and land operation ever attempted and signalled the beginning of the end of World War II.

Everybody wants to be special on june 6
Un grand merci et un respect éternel à tout ses héros !
No celebrations in London ..why impossible?no nostalgia. For the English
1:32 "Everybody did what they had to do and that was it."
do they burry them there today?
We must never forget those heroes that fought for our future, and those many who gave their lives for us.
I'm sure the City of London appreciates their sacrifice.
No one in my family was there in Normandy, but the men who fought were heroes, and liberated France, and all of Europe, from the threat of Nazism. I salute them, and hope their memory will be remembered.
They died for nothing btw
Let's all remember that Trump thinks servicemen are "losers and suckers"
it is not fair that they died for us just so that we could take this time of peace for granted
Allied of murders
We owe so much to these men and women who served so bravely…..God Bless.
Strength and Honor
Donald Trump called them "losers and suckers". Class act.

World without War and occupation God willing
My grandfather was a young RN Captain who was in command of an LCA (Landing Craft Assault) on the D-Day landings. He was a remarkable man who experienced much during the landings etc.
His brother was on mine sweepers in the Atlantic and later D-Day.
Do u know why old soldiers are still alive because they the ones how ranaway
The people haven’t forgotten but the politicians have.
Old soldiers never die.
Why has Blinkin not called a sease fire between Ukraine and Russia,?
Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do not honor the memory of their ancestors are doomed to extinction.
The unconditional act of surrender was signed by Marshal of the USSR Georgy Zhukov, who led the army that liberated all of Europe and all of humanity from fascism and erected the Soviet red flag on the Reichstag, on May 8, 1945 in the suburbs of Berlin and the witnesses were signed by the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Expeditionary Forces, Marshal Arthur Tedder (Great Britain), General K. Spaats (USA) and General J. de Lattre de Tassigny (France).
We will never forget what they did for us ❤
Zničit Spojence který nesl Nejtěžší zátěž v boji proti Nemeckému fašismu je neskutečný příběh kam "západ" NATO se vyvinulo od 2. S. V. Kdo jsou Vítězové ? Ti co čekali jak dopadne bitva na Východě v čele SSSR ?💦
I see no reason to celebrate!👎👎
I was shocked Europe will fall. Was it wrong to tear down the Berlin Wall ? Is the EU no longer able to help eastern European countries modernize ? ✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
Of the many lost men on that day, and the days following, King Solomon said as a wise old man: “I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” There were many stories of miraculous deliverance among them. Only "in the judgment" will "the saints" come to understand the rules of engagement between Christ and Satan that allowed GOD to intervene for some of those men as He did for Desmond Doss on Okinawa.
Cool, I'm amazed to see anyone actually made it back at this point. I'm sure many would like to be there but just are so old to make the trip.
I remember one vet saying: "It was an amazing time, but I would never want to do it again!!!"
Me gustó que hayan puesto la pista de audio en español
Seems absurd that we stormed french beaches to help end the war, now the french are fascilitating the invasion of the UK!!
UN HONOR ESCUCHAR A ESTOS GLORIOSOS GUERREROS.S/C 70 SOLDADO ARGENTINO
Ich hatte das große Glück. Dieses Jahr unter gewesen zu sein . Und das große Glück mit einen der Veteranen zu reden und ein Foto zu machen. Für mich ein Moment den ich nie vergessen werde. Mir sind die Tränen gekommen. Also er mich umarmte hat.
Honours and all the respect be for all the Army, Navy and Air Force (men and ladies) who prepared for and fought in the Overlord Operation, the famous D-Day in France (Normandy)! Even with sacrifice of their own life, all began the invitation for all Europe people to give hands, for the peace forever and in order for democracy, as all, of us, must be like brothers!God accept, in the eternity, all them. And to be never forgotten their nice and admirable examples, let us pray, nowadays and very often, for God! D-Day was, is and will be, always, a remarkable and unforgetable date! Here, just a portuguese and christian family, in Portugal. Respectfully. L+E
Continued blessings on all of these men. Thankfully they've deservedly lived long lives.
Comemorando e exaltando os heróis da II Guerra Mundial ao mesmo tempo que preparam-se para III Guerra Mundial…
Alguns especialistas e intelectuais afirmam que é absolutamente normal visto que as Guerras fazem parte da humanidade de forma indissociável.
O problema com tal afirmação é que alguns cientistas dizem que a devastação causada por uma eventual III Guerra Mundial exterminaria a humanidade da Terra. Se isso acontecer, qual terá sido o real legado da I e da II Guerras Mundiais? Seria apenas o de capacitar a humanidade com armas capazes de finalmente extingui-la da Terra?
É estranho tal lógica!
Quem poderia impedir a humanidade de se autodestruir?
