"They gave us our freedom" - Veterans celebrated in Normandy

诺曼底登陆80周年：老兵与游客共庆祝

It's impossible not to be swept away by the warmth and energy in the stone-clad villages up and down the Normandy coastline this 80th anniversary of D-Day. British, US and Canadian flags flutter from garden gates and lampposts as far as the eye can see. Music from the 1940s drifts through village squares, while country lanes roar with column-upon-column of World War Two-era military jeeps. Driving them are laughing, waving men and women from all over Europe. Germans, Dutch, Belgians and Brits from all walks of life, who this week have chosen to don Second World War Allied military uniforms, to honour the 150,000 soldiers who landed here in Nazi-occupied France on 6 June 1944.

在诺曼底登陆80周年纪念日这一天，你不可能不被诺曼底海岸线上石砌村庄处处洋溢的热情和活力所感染。

英国、美国和加拿大国旗在花园大门和灯柱上迎风招展。20世纪40年代的音乐在村庄广场上回荡，乡间小道上一列列二战时期的军用吉普车在轰鸣。

驾驶这些吉普车的是来自欧洲各地的男男女女，他们欢声笑语，挥手致意。这些德国人、荷兰人、比利时人和英国人来自各行各业，他们在本周穿上二战盟军的军装，以纪念1944年6月6日在纳粹占领下的法国登陆的15万名士兵。
