King Charles and Queen Camilla were seen wiping away tears during a deeply moving ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Portsmouth. The royal couple joined veterans and dignitaries to pay tribute to the bravery of those who fought in the historic World War II operation.
The event, held at the D-Day Story Museum, featured heartfelt speeches and a minute of silence to honour the fallen. The King, who delivered a personal address, appeared visibly emotional as he spoke of the sacrifices made by Allied forces.
Queen Camilla, dressed in a sombre navy outfit, comforted her husband as they listened to veterans recount their wartime experiences. The atmosphere was one of profound respect and gratitude, with many attendees seen dabbing their eyes throughout the ceremony.
Portsmouth played a crucial role in the D-Day landings, serving as the main embarkation point for troops heading to Normandy. Today's commemoration served as a powerful reminder of the city's historic significance and the enduring legacy of those who served.
The royal couple later met with veterans, sharing personal conversations and expressing their deep appreciation for their service. The emotional event concluded with a flypast by the Royal Air Force, a fitting tribute to the heroes of D-Day.
