British soldiers stand with D-Day veteran Cyril Ager, 79, as rehearsals for D-Day get under way on the Beach at Arromache in Normandy, France on June 4 2004. These landings are a rehearsal for the commemoration service to be held on the 6th in front of HM Queen. Almost 900 United Kingdom servicemen and women join thousands of D-Day veterans in Normandy to commemorate the 60th anniversary of what remains the biggest military operation ever undertaken.
