At 8am on 6 June, Southampton’s Town Crier, Alan Spencer, will honour the 80th anniversary of D-Day with a special proclamation on the main entrance steps of the Civic Centre.

This tribute will acknowledge the valiant Allied forces who initiated Operation Overlord by storming the beaches of Normandy, a pivotal act that ultimately led to the liberation of Paris.

Their bravery and sacrifice will be remembered in this solemn commemoration.
