HM The Queen at Arromanches
The climax of the British ceremonies comes live this evening from the small town of Arromanches, site of the remarkable Mulberry Harbour , the remains of which are still clearly visible 40 years later.
HM The Queen visits the scene again for a march past and to meet some of over 1,000 veterans, many of whom are returning for the first time to Normandy in very different circumstances.
