King Charles expressed his gratitude to the D-Day veterans during the 80th commemoration of the historic event. He stated that "we are eternally in their debt" for their bravery and sacrifice during the landings.

Parliament president Roberta Metsola is urging people not to take Europe for granted, just days before an important vote. Metsola is calling on citizens to defend Europe by exercising their right to vote, warning that if they don't, others will make decisions on their behalf. Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak's election campaigning and King Charles's recovery from cancer will be paused for 48 hours as they join veterans to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-day. The events will take place at the ports where allied troops departed for their mission and on the French beaches where they initiated the liberation of Europe in 1944. The commemoration will kick off on Wednesday at 11am on Southsea Common in Portsmouth. It is crucial for people to recognize the significance of Europe and actively participate in shaping its future through their votes.

King Charles and Rishi Sunak will be taking a break from their respective duties to join veterans in commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-day. The two men will participate in two days of events in England and France to honor the brave soldiers who embarked on the historic mission. Rishi Sunak, who has been busy with election campaigning, and King Charles, who is recovering from cancer, will set aside 48 hours to pay tribute to the veterans. The events will take place at the ports where allied troops set off for their mission and on the beaches of Normandy where they began the liberation of Europe in 1944. The commemoration will kick off on Wednesday at 11am on Southsea common on Portsmouth's seafront. The veterans, along with King Charles and Rishi Sunak, will gather to remember the sacrifices made and the lives lost during the D-day operation.
