Headline: King Charles III takes first overseas trip since cancer diagnosis

Caption: His Royal Highness visited France for the 80th anniversary of D-Day - his first journey outside of the United Kingdom since announcing his cancer diagnosis in February. Wearing his military dress uniform, King Charles, 75, spoke in French to the assembled crowd in Normandy, honouring the men and women of the Allied countries who helped to seize France from Nazi Germany in 1944. "How fortunate we were, and the entire free world, that a generation of men and women in the United Kingdom and other Allied nations did not flinch when the moment came to face that test," the royal said.
