More than three hundred veterans who are all over ninety years old are also there. The Queen paid tribute to their courage. When I attended the commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of the D-Day landings, some thought it might be the last such event, but the wartime generation, my generation is resilient and I'm delighted to be with you in Portsmouth today. Earlier, sixteen countries issued a joint statement to mark the anniversary. It committed them to uphold the values of democracy, tolerance and the rule of law.
