On the eve of the anniversary, hundreds of Armed Forces personnel will parachute into a historic D-Day drop zone in France, reenacting the airborne liberation of Normandy that took place 80 years ago. The sun will rise over Juno Beach near Graye-sur-Mer, casting a poignant light on the solemn occasion.
