D-Day 80th Anniversary: Veterans and World Leaders Commemorate Landings

On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, veterans and world leaders gathered in France and the UK to commemorate the historic landings. Among those in attendance were Joe Biden and King Charles. The commemorations began with a piper playing a lament at sea at the exact moment of the beach invasion in 1944. -Lillie, the piper, expressed his deep humility and privilege to be part of the event. He felt honored to be coming off the landing craft onto the beaches, just like the young soldiers did 80 years ago. The presence of veterans and world leaders at the D-Day celebrations served as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Second World War. The event was a solemn tribute to those who fought and died on the beaches of Normandy.
