Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron watch airplane tribute to D-Day

Donald Trump today led world leaders including Theresa May and Emmanuel Macron to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day in France and hailed the men who 'won this ground for civilisation'. More than 500 British and Americans veterans who stormed the Normandy coastline on June 6, 1944, have also travelled to northern France to remember their comrades who died there. Today President Trump stood in the American Cemetery and Memorial above Ohama Beach, where 2,000 Americans lost their lives, and described it as 'Freedom's Altar' during a poignant ceremony where he hugged US veterans and President Macron (right). Around 15 miles away above Gold Beach, where British troops landed, Theresa May paid tribute to the heroes who 'laid down their lives so that we might have a better life', calling them 'the greatest generation'. The Prince of Wales is representing the Queen in France today and was at Bayeux Cathedral where he and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, joined the PM and 300 British D-Day veterans for a service of remembrance (left). Afterwards hundreds of people lined the streets of Bayeux to clap them as they paraded to the nearby Commonwealth War Graves ceremony, with locals kissing them and shaking their hands as they passed (main picture, D-Day veteran John Quinn clutched the hand of George Sayer, six).
