Veterans will be offered the opportunity to lay a wreath as part of the ceremony at the NMA. The commemorations at the NMA will include a live broadcast of the opening of the British Normandy Memorial, coverage of the service at Bayeux Cemetery and a Two Minute Silence at 11am. You will be able to enter the site at any point after your time slot begins and can remain in the Arboretum grounds until they close. To help manage the arrival of visitors to site you will be asked to select an arrival time slot when booking. Those wishing to visit the Arboretum on 6 June can book remaining tickets online via the Arboretum’s website. The National Memorial Arboretum is open to pre-booked visitors, and the number of tickets available each day continues to be regulated. With continuing uncertainties around international travel preventing veterans and relatives of the fallen from attending both the RBL’s annual services of Remembrance at Bayeux Cathedral and Bayeux Cemetery and the opening of the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sure-Mer, the Royal British Legion and the Normandy Memorial Trust are instead working together to deliver an event at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. Due to the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic the Royal British Legion is amending its plans to mark the 77th anniversary of D-Day with a programme of commemorative events in Bayeux.
