NEW: Speaker Nancy Pelosi leading bipartisan congressional delegation to Normandy for D-Day 75th anniversary.
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, on the third day of their U.K. trip, joined Queen Elizabeth II and more than 300 D-Day veterans in Portsmouth on Wednesday for a national ceremony of remembrance on the 75th anniversary of the allied military invasion remembered as a turning point of World War II.
After reviewing honor guards from the Royal Navy, Army, Air Force and Welsh Guards, the president took the stage to read the prayer President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered to the nation by radio on the evening of June 6, 1944, addressing the Normandy operation. Trump, May, Macron and Trudeau read special tributes to their individual country's contributions, and the queen delivered an address before a Royal Navy frigate fires a naval salute and 25 historic and U.K. military aircraft fly over the proceedings.
Trump and the queen bid each other farewell and taking a photo. “It was a great honor to be with you,” the president said to the queen calling her a"great woman."
