Jeremy is live from Portsmouth to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, when allied forces entered France and set the clock ticking on the end of the Second World War.

Jeremy is live from Portsmouth to mark the eightieth anniversary of D-Day, when allied forces entered France and set the clock ticking on the end of the Second World War. We'll hear the story of what happened from those who were there, and those who have given their lives to studying the momentous events of that day. Jeremy will hear listeners' stories of their links to D-Day, as well as discussing the crucial role Portsmouth played in the war effort. He'll also have a special interview with David Eisenhower, the grandson of Dwight D Einsehower, then the Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe.
