King Charles III and Queen Camilla, along with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and French President Emmanuel Macron, gathered in Ver-sur-Mer to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Welsh singer Tom Jones also performed “I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall” from his 2021 album Surrounded by Time, at the British Normandy Memorial, paying tribute to the historic event.

Before the performance, Tom shared on social media: “It is my honour to perform at the very special D-Day 80 event at the British Normandy Memorial on June 6. It is a momentous occasion that reminds us of the limitless sacrifices of that campaign, and it will be beautiful.”

Sir Tom’s performance was particularly moving, captivating the audience with his powerful vocals. Even at over 80 years old, he proved he still has one of the best voices in the industry. Many in attendance were visibly emotional, feeling the depth of his performance.

It is believed that his performance was especially poignant because he was thinking of his grandfather, who died in World War I and is buried in France.

This personal connection added a profound layer of emotion to an already significant event, making his tribute even more heartfelt and memorable.
