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 with 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.
The beacon will be lit at 9:15pm, with the Scouts providing refreshments at the Scout Hut. There will also be a food vendor.
Further updates with details of the day will be announced, and the commemorations will follow the national guidelines for timings for the whole day.
