Paratroopers and drone show mark D-Day 80th anniversary

Several events have taken place in the UK and France to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings during the Second World War.

In Portsmouth in England, King Charles called on people to live up to the freedom that Allied soldiers died for, paying tribute to them and to surviving veterans. The ceremony included a flypast by two Dakota aircraft, as well as interviews with veterans.
