This is likely the last major anniversary with surviving veterans, our final chance to honour the heroes who served on June 6, 1944. Eighty years ago, just after midnight on June 6, 1944, one of the most pivotal military operations of the 20th century commenced. Those first few hours were the beginning of the longest day, a day that will forever be known as D-Day. As dawn broke, the largest seaborne invasion in history began. Allied forces spearheaded by British, Canadian and American troops stormed the beaches code-named Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah. Naval vessels bombarded the heavily fortified German defences along the coast, and Allied aircraft flew more than 14,500 sorties. Each helped to secure victory by land, sea and air in a campaign that would change the course of history, turning the tide of World War II and launching the liberation of Europe from the Nazis. Eighty years later, the courage and commitment shown by the Allied troops who fought for our freedom on D-Day is commemorated on the brand-new D-Day 80th Anniversary Proof Fifty Pence Coin, officially licensed by the Ministry of Defence. Officially licensed with The Ministry of Defence & approved by Buckingham Palace A striking tribute to the heroism of those who landed along the shorelines of Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah beaches, the coins design shows a stylised invasion map of the Normandy coastline and the emblems of the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force.
