World leaders are joining hundreds of veterans in Normandy to mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

世界领导人与数百名老兵齐聚诺曼底纪念诺曼底登陆70周年。

US veterans including Morley Piper, 90, gathered at Omaha Beach on Friday morning

Heads of state will meet at Ouistreham, one of the five beaches where Allied¹ troops landed on 6 June 1944.

French President Francois Hollande will give a speech followed by US President Barack Obama. The Queen and Russian President Vladimir Putin will also go.

There will be a re-enactment of the landings, which were the start of the invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe.

By the end of D-Day, the Allies had established a foothold（据点） in France - an event that would eventually help bring the war to an end.

The day's commemorations began at midnight with a vigil（守夜，监视） at Pegasus Bridge near Ouistreham, marking the first assault of the D-Day invasion when British soldiers began the first Allied action of the campaign.

In other events:

More than 300 troops parachuted into Ranville, the first village to be liberated² on D-Day

The Princess Royal was at the drumhead ceremony in Southsea, Portsmouth, where many of the D-Day troops originally departed from

The Queen left flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with Mr Hollande in Paris

A flotilla led by HMS Bulwark³ sailed from Portsmouth to Normandy with four vessels⁴ from other countries

At 00:16 on 6 June 1944, six Horsa gliders⁵（滑翔机） carrying 181 men from the Glider⁶ Pilot Regiment⁷ and the 2nd Battalion⁸, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry⁹, landed silently to capture the strategically-vital bridge and another nearby.
