Link: RVD announcement
His Royal Highness will first attend a commemorative service and wreath-laying at Ginkel Heath near Ede, with Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrix of The Netherlands. Ginkel Heath was utilised as a landing zone by the Allied Forces during the 1944 Battle of Arnhem. The service will be attended by veterans and followed by a mass parachute drop of airborne troops, including soldiers from the Parachute Regiment, of which the Prince of Wales is colonel-in-chief.
His Royal Highness will then attend a series of further commemorative events, recognising the contributions of those involved in Operation Market Garden, the codename for the events that took place in Arnhem in 1944.
Further details will be advised in due course.
