The UK and France will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Normandy Landings on the 6th of June 1944, with a series of major commemorations and events taking place on the 5th and 6th of June 2024 to honour the brave personnel who risked their lives for freedom and peace.
Also known as D-Day, the historic operation saw the Allied Forces mount a large-scale invasion of Nazi-occupied France that ultimately tipped the course of the Second World War in the Allies’ favour.
Please come and join Upchurch Village to commemorate D-Day 80 at an event organised by Upchurch Parish Council at the Recreation Ground, Oak Lane, on Thursday the 6th of June.
A reading of the proclamation will take place at 8:00am, and the beacon will be lit at 9:15pm, in line with the national commemorations.
There will be a food vendor, a licenced bar, an ice cream van and light refreshments in the Scout Hut provided by the Scouts. All are available from 7:30pm.
Please bring your own seating and blankets.
