The King, Queen and Prince of Wales will travel to Normandy to attend a number of commemorative events on Thursday.
Members of the royal family and veterans are preparing to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings over the coming week.
Some of the Normandy veterans are heading for northern France to mark the anniversary, with Second World War veteran Richard Aldred saying: “When I go to Normandy, I’ll guarantee to you I will shed a tear.” The following day, on the eve of the anniversary, Charles, Camilla and Mr Sunak will attend the UK’s national commemorative event in Portsmouth where, later in the evening, there will be a light show calling to mind the treacherous sea crossing taken 80 years ago.
