Sword Beach
This stretch of beach, between Lion-Sur-Mer and Ouistreham in Normandy, France is a playground for locals and visitors alike.
It was very different on 6 June 1944 when this was known as Sword Beach and thousands of British soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division and the 6th Airborne Division landed here under withering fire from defending German forces.
