To mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, Dover Town Council will be hosting a commemorative event in Dover at the Marina Curve on the seafront.

Remembrance allows people to remember those who fought and lost their lives. It is a time to honour the Armed Forces community, families and friends who have served and sacrificed to defend democratic freedoms and way of life.

Get ready to step into the swingin’ 40s as them honour the heroes of history at Marina Curve!

Join them for an unforgettable evening as they commemorate D-Day 80 Years On, starting from 6 PM!

Groove to the tunes of D Day Dawn, tap your feet with The Cinque Ports Lindy Hoppers, swoon over the timeless melodies of Johnny Victory - Vintage Singer and Entertainer, and get swept away by the enchanting performances of Swing time Sweethearts!

It’s not just an event, it’s a journey through time! Don your vintage attire and get ready for a night filled with nostalgia, music, and camaraderie! See you there, comrades! #Dday80 #ThrowbackToThe40s 🇺🇸.
