Once upon a time,
the planning of the greatest seaborne invasion ever took place.
Four years in the preparation, Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944, marked the beginning of the end of World War II and the eventual liberation of Europe

Events at the D-Day Museum

Members of the Portsmouth branch of the Normandy Veterans Association frequently come to the D-Day Museum to talk to visitors during school holidays and half terms.

The D-Day Museum holds events each year to mark Holocaust Memorial Day (late January), the D-Day anniversary (6 June), Armed Forces Day (early July) and Remembrance Sunday (Sunday nearest 11 November).

Please see our events page for a complete listing of events at all the D-Day Museum and other sites run by Portsmouth Museums & Records Service: www.portsmouthmuseums.co.uk
