On Thursday 6 June, the site of the British Normandy Memorial will be inaugurated by the British Prime Minister Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron.

The ceremony, overlooking Gold Beach in Ver-sur-Mer, will be broadcast domestically across the BBC and ITV, as well as internationally, and signals the start of the construction process.
