Today, we pause to remember the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all those who took part in D-Day Operations, on 6 June 1944.

Weymouth played a vital role as a main embarkation point for troops in the preparations for D-Day. The harbour and surrounding areas hosted vessels and troops, including the US 1st Division, in the days leading up to Operation Overlord.

In 2024, Nothe Fort proudly marked the 80th anniversary with the opening of our D-Day exhibition, exploring the important role of the local community in those historic events. Through evocative displays, and in partnership with Weymouth Museum’s photographic collection, the exhibition captures the atmosphere of Weymouth on the brink of change.

We have talks and tours on the subject of D-Day and World War II planned for later this month, but as we take time to remember today, we invite you to reflect and connect with these stories, ensuring they are never forgotten.
