Today, June 6, 2024, is the eightieth anniversary of D Day; the day in 1944, when allied troops from The United States, Great Britain and Canada invaded Nazi occupied France, beginning the liberation of Europe and bringing the world closer to the end of World War II.

In remembrance of this momentous day and those who served during the invasion of France, here is a short blog post showing the breaking news of the day via two editions of The Leader, an extra edition and the daily edition.
