King Charles and the Prince of Wales joined world leaders and veterans at a series of events to mark 80 years since D-Day, the largest amphibious invasion in military history. In a speech commemorating the anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France, US President Joe Biden drew parallels between Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and World War Two. We discuss with a former US Army general, and hear from a D-Day veteran.
