75th Anniversary of D-Day
On June 6, Royal Mail issued a set of six stamps and a miniature sheet to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. The stamps tell the story of June 6, 1944, when Allied forces landed on Normandy's beaches in an operation that was pivotal to the Allied victory in World War II.
Significant Event
The D-Day landings were one of the most significant events in World War II. The operation involved the landing of more than 150,000 troops on the beaches of Normandy, France. The landings were successful, and the Allies were able to establish a foothold in Europe. The D-Day landings marked the beginning of the end of the war in Europe, and they played a major role in the Allied victory.
The new stamps from Royal Mail commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. The stamps feature images of the troops landing on the beaches, as well as images of the equipment and vehicles used in the operation. The stamps are a beautiful tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the men who fought on D-Day.
