The sacrifices of those who fought on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day will be remembered at a service at the National Memorial Arboretum.
A wreath-laying ceremony will be held to mark the 78th anniversary of the largest seaborne invasion in history.
Nearly 160,000 men from Britain, the Commonwealth and North America landed on the beaches as part of the battle to defeat the Nazis during World War Two.
A spokesperson said:
“The memorial service will recognise this historic achievement and salute the bravery and sacrifice of all those who contributed to Operation Overlord, which ultimately led to the liberation of France and Allied victory in Europe.”
