D-Day commemorations across NI and France
Events are being held across Northern Ireland and France to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
The Royal Irish Regiment (R Irish) took part in a sunrise service on Thursday at Sword Beach in Normandy - the spot where soldiers landed 80 years ago to begin their fight against the occupying German forces.
In Northern Ireland, beacons will be lit in towns and cities at 21:15 BST.
A veterans’ charity will also light one at the top of Slieve Donard to coincide with commemorations at the UK’s other highest peaks.
Buildings will be lit up blue on Thursday night.
