Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings

Enniskillen is joining communities around the country in commemorating the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, a military operation that signalled the beginning of the end of World War Two.

Enniskillen Airport, formerly RAF St Angelo during WW2, will host one of the largest community commemorations to mark D-Day 80, on Saturday 8th June, supported by the Royal Air Forces Association (Fermanagh Branch), which is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year.

With something for all the family there will be WW2 Displays, Regimental Bands and Military Village.  Join us for the ‘Big Lunch’, bring along your picnic and enjoy the live music.  Meet volunteers from a range of health & wellbeing charities as part of the ‘Big Help Out’.  Have your photograph taken in the Ulster Aviation Societies replica ‘Spitfire’ and enjoy over 80 pipers & drummers perform their special D-Day 80 tribute!   With many more free activities for children including climbing wall and model aeroplane flying display, its a community event not to be missed!
