Commemoration services around Europe have paid homage to those involved in the D-Day landings on the 6th of June, 1944. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the largest military seaborne offensive of World War 2, in which Allied forces worked together to liberate France from Nazi rule. The offensive and the fighting which followed would lead to the end of World War 2, but it came at the cost of many lives.
It's a sacrifice Queen Elizabeth remembers and paid tribute to at the D-Day Commemoration Service in the British city of Portsmouth.
