DUCHESS IN BLETCHLEY PARK D-DAY CELEBRATION


The Duchess of Cambridge visited Bletchley Park to view a special D-Day exhibition in the newly restored Teleprinter Building, marking the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings. The historic Teleprinter Building was where Codebreakers received


hundreds of thousands of enemy messages, intercepted at secret listening posts across the UK, throughout World War Two. Based on recently declassified materials, the building now


hosts the special exhibition D-Day: Interception, Intelligence, Invasion, which presents how secret intelligence produced at Bletchley Park was integral to the D-Day invasion on 6 June 1944. The Duchess of Cambridge viewed the immersive


exhibition before meeting local schoolchildren and four Bletchley Park Veterans who worked in the Teleprinter Building and other departments directly linked to intelligence gathering in the buildup to D-Day. The Duchess of Cambridge’s grandmother Valerie
