Events to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day are taking place in Normandy and in the UK.

Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron attended the inauguration of the British Normandy Memorial site in Ver-sur-Mer before the Prime Minister joined the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall and other British politicians for a service of remembrance at Bayeux.

Across the Channel, a service of remembrance and wreath-laying took place at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas, Staffordshire.
