She joined French President Emmanuel Macron at the event in Ver-sur-Mer, Normandy, where they laid wreaths at the foundation stone for the new memorial. It will list the names of all 22,442 members of the British armed forces who died in the Normandy campaign in summer 1944 and overlooks Gold Beach, where many of the troops arrived on D-Day. Speaking at the service, Mrs May said: "It's incredibly moving to be here today, looking out over the beaches where one of the greatest battles for freedom this world has ever known took place. "And it is truly humbling to do so with the men who were there that day." ► #5News #News #DDay75 ► Follow 5 News: Facebook: http://bit.ly/5NewsFB Twitter: http://bit.ly/5NewsTwitter ► About 5 News: Channel 5 News covers the key events of the day with a boldness to often lead on different stories to other news programmes and put people at the heart of its news reports.
