2024 marked the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944. It included the largest seaborne invasion in history, code named Operation Neptune, but most often referred to as D-Day. 

The city of Portsmouth and the surrounding areas played a significant role in the preparations for the operation.  

The D-Day: A Portsmouth Story exhibition opened on Friday 24 May, 2024 at Fort Nelson, complemented by a programme of themed events and lectures.
