Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer have honoured British war heroes 80-years on from the D Day beach landings.

Sunak and Starmer are in Ver-sur-Mer in Normandy to pay their respects to the war dead.

The pair, who both continue to campaign for votes ahead of polls opening on July 4, will also join King Charles and Queen Camilla.

French President Emmanuel Macron will join the quartet to mark the anniversary of Operation Neptune.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was pictured in Normandy this morning.

He visited Gold Beach in Arromanches where a piper was set to play a lament to mark the exact moment the beach landings began.

British troops arrived at Gold Beach and Sword Beach at around 7.30am on July 6, 1944.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has been pictured on Gold Beach in Arromanches, Normandy, this morning.

The 60-year-old, who is an outspoken about his interest in military history, was snapped earlier this morning.

He arrived in Arromanches last night, claiming: "Almost a celebratory atmosphere here, but tomorrow will be very different."

Farage, who is standing to become the MP for Clacton on July 4, is in Normandy while Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer attend separate commemoration events.
