On Sunday 6 June, the National Memorial Arboretum will host an event in partnership with the Royal British Legion and Normandy Memorial Trust to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

I had a tour booked June 2020 but due to pandemic it was moved to June 2021, now moved again to June 2022.

Wouldn't that be like having the Boston Tea Party in London?
Or having Australia Day in Portsmouth?
