- The next leg of President Trump's UK trip will take him to Portsmouth tomorrow, to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day with the Queen. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
As part of the commemorations, more than 250 veterans are travelling by ship to Normandy, many of them returning for the first time since the 1944 landings, which began the allied liberation of Nazi-occupied France. We have spent the last two days travelling with those D-Day veterans.

Nothing but admiration and respect for these great men.
Lenny Summers back then Women we’re not aloud to fight in war but I am w u the Women served as Nurses so thank you to them 2
@@dustinnunez5077 some woman fought were Russia like in the air force but not a lot
Also they were woman in the French resistance and woman spies
Indeed, wise words...
Promised stabilization of world currencies 3 weeks later ,
To prevent international currency speculation thriving on crises and cause crises.
Hitler blamed innocent people and migrants for currency collapse for the many bonanza for the vvvvvfew of the Reichsmark while Churchill blamed speculators of any country of any kind and of any hue and called for international cooperation on financial affairs and stabilization of world currencies via the gold standard.
Yes Hitler blamed innocent people and migrants by generalisations against race religions ethnicity political opinion disablity including women children and babies.
We should wear our poppies with knowledge and gratitude, and remember they were all scared and we weren't there..
So please learn about Bretton Woods.
If it doesn't mention , Stabilization of world currencies as a foundation for a lasting peace......$7,000 for 1 BN people each FX trading today,......that enormous profits are made often on death and disasters that can be planned in advance and leaves the inherent need of international currency speculation to profit on trouble in and between Nations it's really just propaganda for the Forex and crypto trading financing child SNUFF movies and kidnapping of young women children and babies and terrorism encryption on the dark web according to Interpol.

""Stabilization of world currencies ....all agreements to be ratified b y the allied and associated nations.....their governing bodies and parliaments.... for the promotion of world trade......lals la foundation for a lasting peace"
Yes ratified by all major world leaders except Hitler and Stalin. L Qt
Eternal respect to them all. The greatest assault in human history, by the bravest of young men. Thank you.
@HELMUT ALTO oh so you really think russia would survive without amerixan and brritish support. Sivjet was nearly defaleated but thanks to brittish and american convoys zo they could get matetial and food.
Look ,,it took the Russians, USA, brits, Aussies, french allies, newzealanders, Indians, Canadians, french resistance, and many many more allied countries to crush the demonic nazi germans
We should never waste the tomorrows they have given us !
and? i bet these men, dead or still alive, all had their own versions of tomorrow and many would be disappointed.
I didn't yesterday
That is a profound thought .
I asked my father " how could you not kill all the Nazis, why did you bring me into such a terrible world?)
His answer was hope .
this makes me tear up...and now seen how many people take for granted their liberty is sad..thank you veterans across the world...
Al Ramones It always makes me weep. We owe them so very very much!! 🇺🇸
“The heroes aren’t here today. Their gone”
Amazing how every WWII vet says the same thing. Still so unselfish ,Regardless of if he’s a Brit or American. These men are legends.
at 5.00 the gentleman say's "I didn't do nothing, the hero's aren't here today, they're gone!" made me tear up what humility. Thank you all for your efforts.
On behalf of my family liberated in May 45, living in Utrecht, the Netherlands: THANK YOU. I wish you knew with how much respect and love they talked about their liberators. BLESS YOU!!!
Ive been watching WWII docs and commemorations since at least 1973 when I was just a child, and it staggers me how many of these brave old souls are still around and remember the terrifying experience! So many soldiers with tales of horror and bravery, a never ending stream of soldiers,75 years on. The older I get the more I realise the true enormity of scale of operation to liberate the world from Nazi tyranny. Lest we forget.
Pulsonar yeah I know some of them are in the 100s...there will never be a generation like them again they are living gods
It brings tears to my eyes listening to these heroes tell their stories, imagining the horrors they must've endured.
"nazi tyranny" please stfu
I wish I could meet every man alive or dead to simply say thank you for everything you did.. Forever in their debt
I’ve been watching D Day documentation all day today, respect to you all! Thank you for your bravery Sirs!
Much admiration and respect for these brave men and women from Sudbury, Canada.
I visited some of the beaches this week including Gold beach Juno and sword,the Canadians had it bad on d-day.
@@Coolerman565 Yeah, it wasn't quite Omaha bad, but it was the next worst thing from what little research I did
@@wellheckitall Yes it would have been bad,problem at Omaha they landed without tanks,they were dumped too far out from the landing craft,many of the guys just drowned.
@Nicolas d'Avout Nurses were there
Stepping on that beach again only to feel like a "lucky chap". I understand what he means, yet it's such an understatement. These men cheated death; they looked death in the face and said "not today". The fact they have the opportunity to return the sands where they gave so much and others everything, is remarkable.
Thank each and every one of you men, it couldn't of been done without you. Thank you.
The Greatest Generation for sure!
Agree.
Thanking all the Veterans that served. God Bless and Thank you.
My great uncle fought in ww2 his brother (my great grandpa) was 12 and too young to serve my great uncle did alone. Sadly he passed away after being wounded during the war. He and other young men gave there lives for the future of our world. My great grandma passed away 5 years ago. Before he did my mom said he talked about his older brother a lot. Thanks to greatest generation for giving there lives for all of us to stand here today.
We will never see the American people all together and helping each other not fighting each other but fighting for another country together. We will never forget and we will always please these men who fought and died for this war. It would be nice if this country could be this way again together as one.
Ah you guys earned our greatest love and respect. From Texas.
I was not even born as british, but i live here and i am so proud of these men and women. This is the generation of Heroes!
We all thank you guys we wouldn’t have won the war without you from the NZ
Now this is what the news media should be proudly reporting on in America......but most of them just want to spin the negative. God Bless these Veterans and the millions mostly gone now who put love of country and devotion to duty first above all else!!! Today's generations could be taught so many lessons from the courage and selflessness of all those men and women that donned their nation's uniform and struck back against the evils of the world all those many years ago!!! Thank you to them all!!! As an older Marine Veteran myself and the grandson of one of the American Veterans of WW2.... ....Semper Fidelis!!!
So much depended on so few... My father-in-law (Royal Eng.) was evacuated from Dunkerque. ("The mug of tea they gave me on that train was the best I’d ever had"!) as for my father (Chasseurs alpins), he was taken prisoner near Lille and had to spend the next 3.5 years in a Stalag in East Prussia. They had to walk the distance. Fortunately (for him), he was a great athlete and a walking champ.
As for D Day, let’s not forget the brave Kieffer French Commandos who set foot on the beaches near Ouistreham. The only French unit allowed to wear their berets left to right Brit fashion. They saved us from shame.
Respect guys!
And also the Spaniards guy in the Spanish Battalion Number 1, this guy fought over UK flag as engineers in Sword Beach. They free Europe except they own country.
I am so proud of Dad.
Respect.
Incredible gratitude for their service.
What a sacrifice you made for us and I Truly Thank You ALL for my FREEDOM.
To each and every one of those precious, brave men and women veterans very heartfelt thank you. Born 1953.
My father was there, in France, during WWII. He was one of the bravest of all U.S.A. 's bravest soldiers. I am 74 years old. My brother is a TEACHER of history. What I have learned and know to this day was not -~NOT~ taught in my schooling, yet from my father and brother. My father was drafted at age 28 years old ...later than most because he was running a family farm that supplied food to many people in our state and to those whom had traveled to have food from other areas. he died 13 years ago, at age 92. he is now, in Heaven with God. The stories: horrifying.
My uncle was on Utah beach he wrote his experiences & how he felt in the moment. He’s gone for 15 years we found this dday story after he passed & we made copies and handed it out at the funeral. He NEVER EVER TALKED ABOUT ANYTHING. He said even at the end of his life 60+ years he said he could still smell, taste, visualize the sheer terror as they had no clue the landing would be an ambush. He was 1 of 8 out of 300 men that made if off the beach. And remember u spent a lot of time with the other guys & u have to watch them die his best friend died next to him
Thank you all for your service.
So this man may live free.
Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.
And thank mostly the US servicemen and women who did most of the work ;)
Mostly to the USA. I think all country's need thanking. What pisses me of is you dopey yanks of today think you single handedly fought the Nazi. Mostly we should be saying thanks to the brits and commonwealth and motherland Russia and France
@@craigconey8453
I'm American, and I couldn't agree with you more. We didn't have German bombers, or rockets, or buzz bombs raining down on our cities.
Or U-boats trying to starve us out.
The British and Commonwealth we're fighting two years before we got into it.
Thanks and blessings from America. I'm so honored and proud at all of the countries that banded together in the world's time of need. These men are champions and we will never forget them!
These men and women gave up so much for our freedom! I’m so glad they are being honored!!
kim wiser it was only men that fought
Pray, what is this Freedom that you speak of?
The Striker I know that only men fought but many women served were they could. There were women spies in occupied France who lost their lives. There were nurses, women who flew planes and women who did other jobs to free up men to fight. And many women who lost there sons and husbands to war.
Baron Von Trenk what are you trying to say? What freedom don’t we have?
@@kimwiser445 Try not paying your taxes. Try not having your children vaccinated. Try protesting about the Zionist occupation of Palestine
From America I thank you fantastic British soldiers. Love to you and yours !
The gratitude and respect is mutual
This is the coverage I want to see. Thank you, Channel 4 News.
Thank you to everyone who fought and serve on D Day to free Europe.
Sometimes, a simple "thank you" is hardly enough. Though, it is the only thing that I can do, sitting here in my comfy chair in Germany in front of a pc, living in peace and prosperity, thanks to all these chaps.
THANK YOU!
What humble men, recalling their Normandy invasion experience.
D-Day was the main step to invade German held Europe.
Without it, the war and losses would have been so much higher.
You sum up all of our blessings today, for what they did then...
R.I.P. TO THOSE WHO DIED SO WE CAN LIVE "FREELY" !!!TO THOSE WHO ARE LIVING !!! APPLAUDING AND MORE APPLAUDING INDEED !!THANKS --- VETERANS !!!BRAVE !!HUMILTY !!FROM (U.K.).

"The heroes are not here today, they're gone..."; broke my heart.
My 94 year old father was there with my husband. He was 19 landing troops on Juno and Sword beach on d day +6. Very proud. He has been looking forward to it.
So proud Michel Kirk and still proud.
Many thanks from America.
That man at 1:36 what a great guy. Thanks to every single one of the veterans for your service. I look at D-Day as a very special occasion.
Most D-Day Hero's never left. God Bless.
I was on this trip with my father, a d day veteran of sword beech, he was a dispatch rider, royal engineer, r force, we had a fantastic time, sadly my dad passed away a year later, so glad I got the memories with him, R.I.P DAD 🇬🇧
Once they are the BRAVE YOUNG MEN and now they are the VETERAN..they are the INSPIRATION to the younger generation..THEY REMAIN IN HISTORY BOOK FOREVER...
It was great to see these heroes enjoying themselves on a boat going across to Normandy we owe so much to these veterans to hear their stories is emotional especially to the soldiers who lost their lives just doing a job that will never be forgotten . Thank you
I was on board that ship as a carer for a veteran who sadly passed away last month.I will never forget my week spent with such wonderful people
Adore and respect.
From Vietnam
Văn Phạm How lovely of you
Sadly for the US we entered war for Vietnam. I sometimes wonder when will we stop fighting for everybody else and start fighting for us
Cherie Smith Your reply to the comment of van pham... , (who basically says thank you...)...leave me ...humm, how to say, between discomfort and circumspection... I guess ... just clumsiness
Văn Phạm why a Ukrainian flag as pfp then?
Just pure respect.
You cant imagine what these men had to go through being young boys at the time, the feelings and emotions going through their mind. You just cannot even begin to imagine that.
Just sending much love to them all ❤
Our greatest generation. Thanks!
These men are the greatest generation. Thanks 🇦🇺
The Likes Of These Men We Will Never See Again !
Thank you to all brave men in the D- day landing
Thank you to all!
The older I get, the more grateful I am!
God bless you all. Very, very touching and honorable. You are heroes. There is no price for such bravery.
Tell that to those poor pensioners and they will say yes your right there's no price that's why the British government gaves us nothing in our old age.
My Pitiful Thanks can never thank you all so much! XXXX
These men can never be thanked enough. The reason that we all are going about our lives, despite covid19, is because of them. Their bravery and sacrifice is beyond anything that we can even imagine.
Thank you Gentlemen,and your mates for your sacrifices and service in defeating evil, so we can all live free and happy lives. RESPECT from Australia.
To all my friends today and yesterday,
I salute you! 🗽
I absolutely love these guys! What they did for us is more than I could ever put in to words!
Know that when you've gone from this place, that my absolute respect for each and every single one of you will live on with me forever!
Thank you!
We salute our heroes! As you see these nice elderly chaps who share their stories, reminds me of my greatgrandfather who was a danish resistance figther in ww2. And as you see happy kids playing on the same beaches where one of the bloodiest battles in history took place, I think to myself-"thats what they fougt for" ,that future generations could grow up in peace and happiness . To all those brave young men and women of D-day. Always in our hearts and minds.
Thank you guys for helping us have our tomorrows from UK
Great to see them smiling and dancing! RIP to their friends who died.
From a yank with over two decades of service and multiple combat tours, bless them all. You are all our heros and will always be the greatest generation. Our admiration for you all is overwhelming.
As the son of a long-gone WWII Royal Navy veteran, watching things like this always makes me sad.
Yes, I feel pride for my late father and for those in this video, who went and fought 'for King and country' but also, I feel shame that WE - humanity - are still not bright enough to put an end to suffering, similar to that which they had to endure!
RIP to ALL - on every 'side' who gave their all...
Salute to these brave veterans. Their numbers from that time are slowly diminishing sadly. So let us pay utter respects and admiration to these brave souls who fought to liberate a country from tyranny.
Thank you for all you have done :)
When young boys were men , fought blood sweat and tears for this country your sacrifices will never be forgotten
God bless them all 🥇🥇🥇
Great respect, love and appreciation from America 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇫🇷 🇨🇦 ❤️and a special ty to those who had to sail our soldiers to Omaha and Utah beach
Thank you all.
Wow, at times I feel my life is stressful, how ignorant I am to real sacrifice and bravery. These guys know it first hand, chin up people, we have it easy today. Life is like a box of chocolates when you think about the times most of us live in-
Watching them is what is getting me through the crippling 2nd wave of covid in my country
Hero. thank you for youre service sir with great respect from the Netherlands.
Greatest Generation! hands down! came back from the war raised families and went to work and made lives for themselves and asked for nothing. Thank you! to all veterans that fought this horrific war we will never forget you!
Unending gratitude to our British and Canadian brothers in arms who risked all for all.
Those young men that died defending freedom maybe took comfort in knowing that they were doing a great deed. They were a part of my life born fourteen years forth and I will say that they did a great deed until my dying day
I am humbled just watching these heroes. Thank you just isn't enough, but its all I have. God bless each one of you
They did this great work under terrible conditions... very much fortunate to survive. Salute from India...!!!
THIS IS THE GREATEST GENERATION OF AMERICANS.
THEY FOUGHT FOR THE WORLD AND PROVIDED WORLD PEACE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL.
And people DON'T FORGET ALL THE WOMEN THAT STOOD HOME AND DID ALL THE JOBS THAT NEEDED TO BE ACCOMPLISHED AND were still MOTHERS. The TOUGHEST OF ALL..
THANK YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS..
But these are British soldiers
@@mordapl1641
Yes they are, and they had it tougher in England than we did here. We didn't have the enemy bombing our cities.
They still had it easy compared to us eastern europeans
WHY ARE WE YELLING??!?!!!?!
The greatest people alive, and yet they are all so humble.
And it is to these great people that we owe our freedom too.
Freedom...... OK pal.
Thanks I to all the brave soldiers who died for us and survived. millions of family's where changed by this unforgettable war. THANK U TO ALL THESE AMAZING SOLDIERS
"Happy Birthday..
Sweet Sixteen!..
Perfect song, & great
atmosphere for the
veterans... for a brief
moment, they felt young again🇬🇧🐯
I've only had the distinct honor to meet a few WWII Veterans...what I would give to go on this boat ride with them and to hear their stories...truly the GREATEST generation!
I have watched almost all the film footage of remembrance & each one brings me to tears, thinking of what these Brave Men & Women went through.
We owe them so much, & I have great respect for each & every one of them .
People today can not imagine how much these men woman and in some cases child have gave from both sides allies and enemies somebody willing to give up their life not just for their children or their children's children but for strangers people they never knew or never. Giving the ultimate sacrifice for what essentially was a fight against evil......may the lives of millions who gave their live and life that was needlessly taken live on forever and hope that as time goes by it will NEVER be forgotten and ALWAY REMEMBERED
THANK YOU🌹🌹
These are the greatest generation My FIL is one of them. Fought in WW2, France to Sicily, As from Boomer generations, I am forever grateful.
🇬🇧 proud of them all bless them 🌹
So glad they are documenting this , because these men are truly great hero's , thank u all for your service
Utmost RESPECT and GRATITUDE...one and all. SALUTE!!!
awesome!
Love and respect to all of the greatest generation from a yank to all British veterans who’ve served alongside our boys overseas ✌️❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧
They gave their lives as their ultimate sacrifice. If we can be here today and have freedom, it is because of them that they lost their lives that they faced all the horror of this insane war.
Lol what? Ww2 was decided on the east front. If at all u have to thank the 10 million fallen soviet soldiers. Dday was attacking an already losing Germany
Every day one of these men passes away we lose something. This generation had a perspective and wisdom that can't be bought back
GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN VET! ✌

As an American and a World War II buff I thank you all for your service
This time same enemy simply UTILIZING DIFFERENT STRATEGIES 👁
So true. We must keep watching.
" I can hardly believe we got through it" One word denotes all these men's statements, Warrior...
Respect to those who risked and lost their lives will never be forgotten. Wish i met my grandfather who was on gold beach
Thank you all for your sacrifices and service to your country in WWII. We owe you much more than words can express.
We salute you on this Anniversary.
We respect all of them that fought for freedom😔
