8.30pm, BBC One
Today is the eve of the D-day anniversary, 80 years since thousands of men waited on English soil for the signal to launch the invasion of Normandy. Now, at the Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in Bayeux, a ceremony is held to honour those who completed their mission and commemorate those who didn’t make it. The climax, at nightfall, will see 4,600 headstones lit up. Jack Seale
