The sound of a piper coming ashore at Gold Beach near Arromanches has marked the moment British soldiers landed on the beach in Normandy on D-Day 80 years ago.

Accompanied by 47 Commando Royal Marines, the piper came ashore at 07:30 local time on board a DUKW amphibious vehicle, which came off the back of a modern-day landing craft.
