Operation Nep’tune’ – A D-Day 80 Commemoration
8 June at 3:00 pm - 3:45 pm
Operation Neptune, better known as D-Day which took place on 6 June 1944, was the operational codename of the naval and assault landings of Operation Overlord (the invasion of and battle for Normandy).
To mark the 80th anniversary, members of Tonic Choir present a collection of songs and readings in the very building where some of the planning for the operation and the progress of the landings were observed on D-Day itself. Visitors on the day included King George VI, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and General Dwight D. Eisenhower – the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe.
