in 1944, the largest seaborne invasion in history took place, as Allied forces began the liberation of German occupied Europe during World War II.

On 6th June 1944, the Allies landed around 156,000 troops in Normandy. Estimates vary, but it is believed that 425,000 Allied and German troops were killed, wounded or went missing during the Battle of Normandy.

During D-Day, soldiers from our antecedent regiments were involved. 2nd Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment landed at Gold Beach. Elsewhere, a number of Sherwood Foresters soldiers were part of 4 Commando, the first British Army unit to land at Sword Beach.

🌺🇬🇧 Today, we mark the anniversary of VE Day — the day millions of people across Britain and around the world celebrated the end of war in Europe.

On 8 May 1945, streets filled with people gathering together in relief, remembrance and hope for the future. Communities came together to celebrate peace after years of sacrifice, uncertainty and loss. Families reunited, church bells rang out, music played and people danced in the streets as the news spread across the country.

But alongside the celebrations was reflection for those who never returned home, and for the lives forever changed by war.

As we remember VE Day today, we honour those who served and the strength of the communities that stood beside them through extraordinary times.

Their legacy continues to shape the world we live in today. 🌺

81 years ago, millions in the Allied nations celebrated the end of the Second World War in Europe.

Whilst fighting continued in the Far East until August, Victory in Europe Day was a significant moment in bringing an end to the global conflict.

Up and down the country people breathed a sigh of relief and took to the streets to celebrate.

Today we pay tribute to the Second World War generation, whose service and sacrifice protected the freedoms we enjoy today.
