The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh arrive at the D-Day Museum
 
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visit the D-Day Museum & Overlord Embroidery

On 30 April 2009, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh visited the D-Day Museum. They met Normandy veterans and young people from local schools and youth groups, including some who had taken part in the Discovering D-Day project. They also met some of the people who made the Overlord Embroidery (artist Sandra Lawrence and embroiderers from the Royal School of Needlework), and some of the Embroidery's trustees.
