Members of various European royal families attended an international commemoration at Omaha Beach in Normandy, France to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings on June 6.

King Charles III led members of the British royal family in the commemorations across two days.

After a national event on June 5 in the port city of Portsmouth, on the south coast of England, members of the royal family made their way to France for events on June 6.

The D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, were the start of the liberation of France and Europe during WWII, which helped lead to the victory of the Allied Forces.
