World leaders and surviving veterans of the Normandy landings gathered on both sides of the Channel on the 80th anniversary of D-Day. 

In France, Joe Biden, Emmanuel Macron and Princess Anne have been taking part in commemorations. 

And in the UK, King Charles, Rishi Sunak and Prince William have been paying tribute to those who fought to "replace tyranny with freedom", in a service at the key departure point of Portsmouth. 

Biden delivered a speech at the commemorations linking the allied efforts on D-Day with the challenges posed by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that he then said in a separate interview that Vladimir Putin is “not a decent man” and is struggling to keep his country together while continuing the assault.
