The 6th June 1944, D-Day, marked the start of the Allied invasion of Normandy in WW2, the greatest military operation in history. The result was the liberation of Europe and Allied victory. On 6th June 2026, 82 years on to the day, a team led by Ant Middleton and the Challenge The Wild team will land on Juno Beach and light the Lamp Lights of Peace in honour of those who fought that day. They will then embark on an expedition like no other, hiking 100km in just 4 days, and visit the key battlegr

On June 6, 1944, more than 150,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy in the largest seaborne invasion in history. Waves of men battled their way inland at Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches. More than 2,000 Americans lost their lives in the D-Day landings alone, with thousands more perishing in ensuing operations. Today and every day, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. #DDay #Normandy #WW2 #WW2History #WW2Heroes | American Battle Monuments Commission
