REMEMBRANCE STORIES

Remembrance of the fallen in war has many facets to it. For the veterans it is about a comrade-in-arms whom they fought alongside. For families it is about a loved one they never got to see again. And for those of us who come after, it is about discovering, valuing, remembering and reflecting on the sacrifices made.

THE STORY OF THE BRITISH NORMANDY MEMORIAL

From the very beginnings of an idea to a place of serene beauty where people will gather to remember and reflect for generations to come.

The British Normandy Memorial was officially opened on 6 June 2021 by His Majesty The King (then Prince of Wales) as Royal Patron of the Normandy Memorial Trust. The Memorial  records the names of the 22,442 servicemen and women under British command who fell on D-Day and during the Battle of Normandy in the summer of 1944.

This includes people from more than 30 different countries. Inscribed in stone, their names were finally brought together on a hillside overlooking Gold Beach. The site also includes a French Memorial, dedicated to the memory of French civilians who died during this time.

On 6 June 2024 Their Majesties The King and Queen, Normandy Veterans and international dignitaries came together to mark the D-Day 80.

This short film features the story of the Memorial, from the building process and its official opening, through to this historic milestone anniversary.
