The D-Day landings were a turning point in World War II

Saturday night's concert will take place on the beach which was the scene of the bloodiest D-Day battle between German and American troops.

It will be one of the highlights of a weekend of D-Day commemorations.

Alwyn Smith, Chris Bacon and Heather and Tony Ellison were invited to take part by Caen University.

Choristers, including singers from countries across Europe, the United States and the Congo, will perform Gabriel Faure's Requiem in front of hundreds of Normandy veterans.

Following the concert, there will be a firework display over the water.
