The 80th anniversary of the D-Day landing in Normandy is approaching, with World War II veterans, including 99-year-old Jack Foy, preparing to attend what may be their final commemoration.

This event is set to be the most extensive in history and will be attended by heads of state such as US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Fewer than 100,000 American WWII veterans are expected to be alive by year-end, highlighting the importance of preserving their memories.

Extensive security measures are in place to ensure veterans receive special care and respect during the ceremonies.

Museums along the beaches of Normandy, including Utah Beach's museum, are preparing for an influx of tourists and offering interactive exhibits to educate younger generations.

Events will include parachute drops, light shows, and climbers scaling peaks in remembrance, as well as ceremonies at the British Normandy Memorial, Juno Beach, and Omaha Beach.

The Princess Royal will unveil a statue in Normandy, and a blue plaque will be installed in London to honor the veterans.

An educational quiz is available for enthusiasts to test their knowledge and potentially earn the title of a D-Day expert.
