D-Day 80th anniversary: How commemorations became a major global event Western leaders were Thursday to remember the 1944 World War II D-Day landings in northern France to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation, with French President Emmanuel Macron hosting US leader Joe Biden, King Charles III of the UK and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
