President Barack Obama and other world leaders have gathered at Normandy in France to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
Like the 75th anniversary of Gallipoli in 1990, this is likely to be the last time that survivors of the largest sea-borne invasion in history will gather to remember the historic turning point that led to the defeat of Hitler and the end of the war in Europe.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott is attending the commemoration.
