Veterans and world leaders gather in Normandy for emotional D-Day commemorations
Western leaders were Thursday to remember the 1944 World War II D-Day landings in northern France to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation, with French President Emmanuel Macron hosting US leader Joe Biden, King Charles III of the UK and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The most honoured guests will be the surviving veterans, however. With most at least in their late 90s and some older than 100, this may be the final major anniversary where they are present.
