The D-Day landings took place on 6 June 1944 during World War Two.
The landings marked the start of the campaign to free north-west Europe from the Nazis.
It was a very important moment during the war.
Thousands of ships had set out from the south coast of England to help. In all, over 6,000 vessels joined the attack. They were supported by over 11,000 planes. The naval force crossed the channel overnight.
At 6.30am on 6 June, troops started to land on the beaches of Normandy in France.
By the end of D-Day, the Allies had put 156,000 troops ashore. Portsmouth’s D-Day Museum says an estimated 2,500 Allied troops died on the day of the invasion.
