The Fleet Air Arm Museum and Fleet Air Arm Memorial Church are working together to mark the 80th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy.
A military Service of Commemoration will be held at 10:30am on Thursday 6 June 2024 on the Carrier Flight Deck (Hall 3) of the Fleet Air Arm Museum. The service will be open to members of the public with a valid museum ticket. The following link can be used for booking and shows discounted prices available for certain groups: Buy tickets for Fleet Air Arm Museum | National Museum of the Royal Navy (nmrn.org.uk). Entry to the Fleet Air Arm Museum for Armed Forces personnel holding MOD90 ID is free as normal. Later in the day the Fleet Air Arm Memorial Church will join in with two national events; at 6:30pm the bells will be rung, hopefully with a special appearance from the Navy Wings Swordfish sporting her D-Day stripes - weather permitting. Later in the evening at 9.15pm the church will host a Lamplight of Peace ceremony to coincide with the country’s Beacon Lighting. Both events are free to attend but we would appreciate pre booking to regulate numbers. Please contact us via Facebook or our website ‘Contact Us’ tab.
