80th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Channel Islands
9 May 2025
For the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Channel Islands, a French delegation (representatives of the regions of Normandy and Brittany and the departments of Manche and Ille et Vilaine) visited Jersey, Guernsey and Sark. Princess Anne was present in Guernsey and Sark to celebrate this historic moment for the Channel Islands. Elected representatives from Normandy and Brittany were able to interact and exchange views with their elected counterparts from the Channel Islands, as well as with the Bailiffs. It was a wonderful opportunity to honour the past and celebrate the future, while recalling the close links between the Channel Islands and France.
