THE King and Queen appeared overcome with emotion as Charles paid tribute to the “courage, resilience and solidarity” of veterans as part of commemorations for the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
Charles and Camilla joined the Prince of Wales, leading UK politicians and veterans at a major event in Portsmouth yesterday.
Pictures showed the King appear to wipe a tear from his eye during the event and the Queen appeared emotional following words from Royal Navy serviceman Eric Bateman.
Addressing the crowd, Charles said: “The stories of courage, resilience and solidarity we have heard today and throughout our lives cannot fail to move us, to inspire us and to remind us of what we owe to that great wartime generation. It is our privilege to hear that testimony, but our role is not purely passive.
“It is our duty to ensure that we and future generations do not forget their service and their sacrifice in replacing tyranny with freedom.”
