At 9.15pm, Carlisle Castle will light up a beacon to commemorate 80 years since the D-Day landings. Local people are invited to stand outside the castle for the free event, but are asked to arrive 30 minutes beforehand to ensure that they do not miss the show. Cumberland Council is also supporting the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings this week. In Carlisle, an evensong will be held at Carlisle Cathedral on Thursday 6 June at 5.45pm. Some town councils and parish councils are also commemorating the anniversary.
