At 0630, on 6 June 80 years ago, the D-Day landings began.

At 0630 on 6 June 2024, the Green Howards Museum will begin its celebration of the momentous occasion. The museum team has prepared a unique package for anyone who wants to be part of the anniversary - a once-in-a-lifetime chance to knowmore about this famous day.

Starting with a breakfast briefing, the day will be spent marking the pivotal moments of the landings, exploring and handling items from the museum collection, hearing accounts of the day itself, and touring the archives.
