Commemorations began with a parachute drop to mark the airborne phase of the Normandy landings
British veterans are taking part in a series of events in France on the eve of the 65th anniversary of D-Day.
Commemorations began with a parachute drop to mark the airborne phase of the Normandy landings that launched the beginning of the end of World War II.
Update
An apt comment from Paul Evans on Twitter:
"Two days after we have blackshirts on every ballot paper in the country: D-Day Remembrance."

Also without the stabilising effect of the Scottish left to counteract this post UK split. I do truly feel sorry for your average English Trevor, Sunil and Leroy.
Incidently I will be in Normandy myself next month, I am a terrible anorak who fits historical sightseeing in with family holidays. I have drove and walked most of eastern Normandy before, and am looking forward to it again.
