France's president has launched the D-Day 70th anniversary commemorations by paying tribute to those who died on a day that "changed the world".

Francois Hollande will later join the Queen and other world leaders and veterans at Ouistreham, one of the five beaches where Allied troops landed.

I'm not entirely sure fireworks are appropriate for a commemoration of an incredibly bloody beach landing, frankly.

I've been weighing up some of the other 'events' in that sense too...
