Prince William will join the King and Queen as they travel to France to attend ceremonies to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, Buckingham Palace has said.

The monarch and his wife will join the Ministry of Defence and Royal British Legion’s commemorative event at the British Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer on 6 June.

Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales will attend the Canadian ceremony at Juno Beach Centre at Courseulles-sur-Mer hosted by the Canadian government, alongside Second World War veterans and Canadian armed forces personnel.

William will then attend the international commemorative ceremony at Omaha Beach, Saint Laurent sur Mer, alongside 25 heads of state and veterans from around the world.

The King will travel to France after he returned to public duties following his cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

The Princess of Wales, who is also being treated for cancer, is not expected to travel to France.
