and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
As previously reported, Portsmouth is today at the centre of the UK’s D-Day commemorations with two huge ticketed events on Southsea Common - with the one in the evening set to feature a spectacular light display created by drones.
There will also be live music performances and moving testimony from those who were there and will include a stunning lightshow, calling to mind the treacherous sea crossing taken 80 years ago.
