The King, Queen and Prince of Wales will attend commemorative events in Normandy to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, Buckingham Palace has said.

Charles and Camilla will be at the Ministry of Defence and Royal British Legion’s event at the British Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer on June 6, and William will attend the Canadian commemorative ceremony at the Juno Beach Centre, Courseulles-sur-Mer, on the same date.

The Princess of Wales is not due to attend.

Before they set off for France, they will attend the UK’s national commemorative event in Portsmouth on June 5.

Other members of the royal family will attend events marking the anniversary over the two dates.
