Watch live as the Prince of Wales attends a ceremony commemorating Canada's role in D-Day on Thursday, June 6.

Royalty and world leaders have gathered with veterans in Normandy to mark the 80th anniversary of the landings.

The King and Queen will pay tribute to fallen soldiers at the UK's national remembrance event at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer.

The site, opened in 2021, pays tribute to the 22,442 servicemen under British command who died on D-Day and during the Battle of Normandy in the summer of 1944.

Meanwhile, William will attend the Canadian commemorative event at the Juno Beach Centre, Courseulles-sur-Mer, before joining more than 25 heads of state and veterans for the official international ceremony at Omaha Beach, Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer.

The day started early with a bagpiper on Arromanches beach helping to commemorate the largest maritime invasion in military history, before commemorations continue in the towns of Normandy.
