World leaders including including US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian premier Volodymyr Zelenskyy have gathered on Omaha Beach in Normandy for an international ceremony to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Prince William has stepped in to represent Britain on the world stage as he deputises for his father King Charles at the major event while he continues his recovery from cancer treatment.

Earlier today, the King led the tributes for veterans at a British memorial service as he praised the ‘courage and resilience’ of the wartime generation, while Mr Biden insisted the US would never ‘walk away’ from Europe at an American event.
